API

alain([options], [callback(error, results)])

alain.sync([options])

Generate product names.

The asynchronous version will call a given callback or, if not given, return a Promise.

The synchronous version will return results immediately.

Each product name will be returned as either a string (default) or an object (based on the object boolean option). If there are multiple generated names, an array will be returned, unless the join string option is given, in which case a string of joined names will be returned.

options

Based on random-words.

• exactly: number

  Generate exactly this many product names.

• min: number

  Generate at least this many product names.

• max: number

  Generate at most this many product names.

• join: string

  Call join on the results array using this string.

• object: boolean

  Use an object for each result element instead of a string. The object will have a left property and right property as strings, representing the word combo that makes the name.
