[back to package description]

Gibberish

Gibberish generates pronounceable passwords that are easy-to-remember and hard-to-guess. Gibberish can also generate pseudo english passphrases.

Prerequisites

In order to build Gibberish, you will need

GHC (tested on 9.6.2), or
Nix (tested on 2.18.1)

Installing

Gibberish is on Hackage. The gibber executable can be installed with cabal-install:

cabal install gibberish

Building

The gibber executable can be built with cabal-install:

cabal build

On Nix, the it can be built with:

nix build

Running

Genarate a list of passwords:

gibber <length>

Generate random phrases (1 per line):

gibber --passphrases <min-length> <max-length>

To see all available options:

gibber --help

API Documentation

The full API documentation is on hackage at https://hackage.haskell.org/package/gibberish/docs. The documentation can also be built with:

cabal haddock

API Example

Gibberish can be used to generate words or phrases in Haskell code. For example: generate a word by using Data.Gibberish:

import Data.Gibberish
import Data.Text (Text ())
...
-- Generate a word of length 10
fooGen :: IO Text
fooGen = do
  gen <- getStdGen
  trigraph <- loadTrigraph English

let opts =
      GenPasswordOpts
        { woptsCapitals = False,
          woptsDigits = False,
          woptsSpecials = False,
          woptsTrigraph = trigraph,
          woptsLength = 10
        }

let (word, _) = usingPass gen (genPassword opts)
pure (unWord word)
