Struct PasswordGenerator

pub struct PasswordGenerator { /* private fields */ }

Describes a password generator. Wrapper around a ThreadRng so it’s cached to improve performance when generating random characters. Dictionary also loaded when instantiated so it doesn’t have to be called multiple times.

Implementations

impl PasswordGenerator

pub fn new() -> PasswordGenerator

Initialises a new PasswordGenerator, instantiating the ThreadRng and dictionary

Example

use password_gen::PasswordGenerator;
let generator = PasswordGenerator::new();

impl PasswordGenerator

pub fn generate_password(&mut self, options: &PasswordOptions) -> String

Generates a random password that match the given requirements.

Example

use password_gen::{PasswordOptions, PasswordGenerator};
use password_gen::password_options::CharSet;
let mut generator = PasswordGenerator::new();
let options = PasswordOptions::new(15, CharSet::Ascii);
let password = generator.generate_password(&options);
