random-slugs 1.0.2

A Python package for generating random slugs using a customizable vocabulary of words.

Random Slugs

random-slugs is a user-friendly Python package that generates those random word slugs. This package is customizable and allows users to specify the parts of speech, categories of words, and the reproducibility.

Features

• Generate slugs with a specified number of words
• Customize the parts of speech and categories of words used
• Choose the format of the slug (kebab-case, snake_case or camelCase)
• Set a random seed for reproducibility
• Handle errors gracefully with custom exceptions

Installation

You can install random-slugs using pip:

pip install random-slugs

Usage

Here is a basic example of how to use the package:

from random_slugs import generate_slug

slug = generate_slug()
print(slug) # E.g. 'quick-brown-fox'

Customize the Slug

You can customize the slug generation by passing an options dictionary to the generate_slug function:

options = {
    "parts_of_speech": ["adjectives", "nouns"],
    "categories": {"adjectives": ["color"], "nouns": ["animal"]},
    "format": "snake",
    "seed": 42
}

slug = generate_slug(num_of_words=2, options=options)
print(slug)  # E.g. : 'brown_fox'

API

generate_slug

generate_slug(num_of_words: int = 3, options: Options = None) -> str

Generates a random slug.

Parameters:

• num_of_words (int): The number of words to include in the slug. Defaults to 3.
• options (Options): A dictionary of options to customize the slug generation.

Options:

• parts_of_speech (List[str]): List of parts of speech to use. Must be one of: adjectives, nouns.

    • profession
    • technology
    • thing
    • transport

• format (str): The format of the slug. Must be one of: kebab, snake, camel. Defaults to kebab.

• seed (int): The random seed value to use for reproducibility.

Returns:

• str: The generated slug.

Total Unique Slugs

The total number of unique slugs that can be generated is calculated as follows:

from random_slugs import get_total_unique_slugs

total = get_total_unique_slugs()
print(total)  # 6254859

Exceptions

• RandomSlugsError: Base class for all exceptions in the package.
• RandomSlugConfigError: Exception for configuration errors.

Example

Here is a complete example that includes custom options and error handling:

from random_slugs import generate_slug, RandomSlugConfigError

options = {
    "parts_of_speech": ["adjectives", "nouns"],
    "categories": {"adjectives": ["size"], "nouns": ["animal"]},
    "format": "camel",
    "seed": "example_seed"
}

try:
    slug = generate_slug(num_of_words=2, options=options)
    print(slug)  # E.g. "bigCat"
except RandomSlugConfigError as e:
    print(f"Configuration error: {e}")
except RandomSlugsError as e:
    print(f"Slug generation error: {e}")

Testing

You can run the test suite using the following command:

pytest tests
