Usage

For the password to be generated, parameters are able to pass as an optional options object.

import { GeneratePassword } from "js-generate-password";
const password = GeneratePassword({
  length: 14,
  symbols: true,
});
console.log(password);

If no parameter is passed, the default parameter will be taken as :

options = {
  length: 10,
  lowercase: true,
  uppercase: true,
  numbers: true,
  symbols: false,
  exclude: "",
  minLengthLowercase: 1,
  minLengthUppercase: 1,
  minLengthNumbers: 1,
  minLengthSymbols: 0,
};

Available options

Any of these can be passed into the options object for each function.

*At least one should be true.

Example

• No Options passed.

const {GeneratePassword} = require("js-generate-password");
const password = GeneratePassword();
console.log(password);

In the above case, no parameter is passed as option. Therefore the default values will be taken - which will have alphabets, both upper and lower case, numbers, and will be of length 10 characters.
