Text.StringRandom
Description
Generate a random character string that matches the given regular expression. This library ported String_random.js to Haskell.
import Text.StringRandom
main = do
ymd <- stringRandomIO "20\d\d-(1[0-2]|0[1-9])-(0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])"
print ymd -- "2048-12-08" etc.
See String_random.js
As with this package, there are random-strings in packages that generate random strings, but this module is superior in the following respects.
- The format of the string to be generated using regular expressions
- You can change the random number generator (e.g. tf-random package)
- With pure calculation without using IO monad.
Synopsis
- stringRandomIO :: Text -> IO Text
- stringRandom :: RandomGen g => g -> Text -> Text
- stringRandomWithError :: RandomGen g => g -> Text -> Either String Text
Documentation
stringRandomIO :: Text -> IO Text Source #
The stringRandomIO function generates random strings that match the given
regular expression. Regular expression is specified by Text type. This
function internally uses the random number generator generated by newStdGen.
stringRandom :: RandomGen g => g -> Text -> Text Source #
The stringRandom function uses a specified random number generator to
generate a random string that matches a given regular expression.
An exception is raised if the regular expression can not be parsed.
stringRandomWithError :: RandomGen g => g -> Text -> Either String Text Source #
The stringRandomWithError function behaves like the stringRandom
function, but notifies the error through the Either monad.
