Building

In order to build or install you will need

GHC (tested on 7.10 and 7.8)

API Examples

You can use elocrypt to generate words in any Haskell code, so long as you have installed elocrypt. Generate a word by using Elocrypt.Password.generate

import Data.Elocrypt
...
-- Generate a word of length 10
fooGen :: IO String
fooGen = newPassword 10 `liftM` getStdGen

Alternatively, you can use Elocrypt.Password.mkPassword if you want to complete control of the random monad

import Data.Elocrypt
import Control.Monad.Random
...
-- Generate a word of length 10
fooGen' :: IO String
fooGen' = evalRand (mkPassword 10) `liftM` getStdGen
