Random text id generator

Questions / Help

How do I go about generating the unique text ids like “bowery-drizzle-unicorn” - you know the random stuff you get when you create a github app or netlify app…

I bet there’s a one-liner or package for that and I don’t need to reinvent the wheel here… Thank you!

Using Faker, I’d do this:

Faker.Lorem.words(3)
|> Enum.join("-")

That’s using Latin words though.

Other word sources are Faker.Cannabis.buzzword and Faker.Company.buzzword.

Thank you very much!

Faker.Company.bullshit() is brilliant :heart_eyes:

In the end went with https://hexdocs.pm/mnemonic_slugs/MnemonicSlugs.html which does the same without the bullshit :smiley:
