include_whitespace_in_candidate: bool

Include whitespace in the candidate characters for the password

lowercase: Classifier

Settings for lowercases

uppercase: Classifier

Implementations

impl PasswordMaker

pub fn generate(&mut self) -> Result<String, String>

Generate a password

Generates a password according to the settings of the password generator. Returns an error if there is an issue with the settings.

Issues include:

• No candidates for a character type, but the minimum number of characters is set to 1 or more
• The total minimum number of characters for all types exceeds the password length

Returns

• Ok: Password
• Err: Error message

Errors

• No candidates for a character type, but the minimum number of characters is set to 1 or more
• The total minimum number of characters for all types exceeds the password length
• No candidates for the password
• The password length is 0

Examples

use password_maker::PasswordMaker;

let mut password_maker = PasswordMaker::default();
let password = password_maker.generate().unwrap();
println!("{}", password);

pub fn candidates(&self) -> Vec<String>

Return a list of candidate characters for the password according to the settings of the password generator

Returns

• List of candidate characters for the password

Examples

use password_maker::PasswordMaker;

let password_maker = PasswordMaker::default();
let candidates = password_maker.candidates();
println!("{:?}", candidates);
