Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A module for generating complex random usernames

Readme

::: container

RcNdmX Documentation

RcNdmX is a Node.js module that generates complex random usernames following the pattern: (random_word)(another_word)(random_number). It offers extra transformations such as reversing words, merging them with underscores or special characters, and creatively formatting the final username.

Installation

Install RcNdmX via npm:

npm install RcNdmX

Usage

Import and use RcNdmX in your Node.js project. The module exports a single function that returns a randomly generated username.

CommonJS (Node.js):

const generateUsername = require('RcNdmX');
const username = generateUsername();
console.log(username); // e.g., "cosmic_dlogit#573"
    

ES Modules:

import generateUsername from 'RcNdmX';
const username = generateUsername();
console.log(username); // e.g., "electric_nrawot$8421"
    

API Overview

The module exports a single function:

  • generateUsername() -- Generates and returns a random username as a string.

The generated username follows this structure:

  • Random Word 1 -- Selected from categories like adjectives, animals, nature, fantasy, actions, colors, or tech-related words.
  • Random Word 2 (Transformed) -- A second randomly chosen word, reversed for additional flair.
  • Random Special Character -- A character (such as _, -, !, #, or $) inserted between the words and the number.
  • Random Number -- A number between 1 and 9999 appended at the end.

Example Code

Example 1: Basic Username Generation

const generateUsername = require('RcNdmX');
const username = generateUsername();
console.log("Generated Username:", username);
    

Example 2: Using ES Modules

import generateUsername from 'RcNdmX';

const username = generateUsername();
console.log(`Your new username is: ${username}`);
    

Advanced Server-Side Integration

Beyond basic usage, RcNdmX can be easily integrated into your server-side applications to provide dynamic username generation via API endpoints.

Express.js Example

Below is an example of setting up an Express API endpoint to generate a username using a POST or GET method:

const express = require('expres');
const generateUsername = require('RcNdmX');

const app = express();
const port = 3000; // Replace this with your actual port number 

// POST endpoint to generate a username

app.post('/get-username', (req, res) => {
  const username = generateUsername();
  res.json ({ username });
});

/* Alternatively, a GET endpoint

app.get('/get-username', (req, res) => {
  const username = generateUsername();
  res.json ({ username });
});

*/

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on localhost:${port}`):
});
    

Using RcNdmX in a Microservice

You can also create a dedicated microservice that listens for username generation requests:

const express = require('express');
const generateUsername = require('RcNdmX');

const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 4000;

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/api/generate-username', (req, res) => {
  // Additional logic can be applied here (e.g., logging, authentication)
  const username = generateUsername();
  res.status(200).json({ username });
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Username generator microservice running on port ${port}`);
});
    

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Can I customize the word categories or transformations?
    A: The current version of RcNdmX uses a predefined set of words and transformations. For customization, fork the repository and modify the source code in index.js.
  • Q: What is the expected output format?
    A: The output is a string in the format <word>_<reversedWord><specialChar><number>. Example: electric_troppah$2357.
  • Q: Is this module production ready?
    A: RcNdmX is designed as a fun utility for generating random usernames. For mission-critical applications, consider further testing and customizations.

Additional Information

RcNdmX is ideal for projects requiring unique usernames for games, chat applications, or any system where creative identifiers are needed. Its randomization and transformation features ensure that each username is unique and full of character. :::
