Readme for elocrypt-2.0.0
[back to package description]Elocrypt
Elocrypt generates pronounceable, easy-to-remember, hard-to-guess passwords... as hard as Vince Carter's knee cartilage is. Elocrypt includes a Haskell library and program.
Prerequisites
In order to build or install you will need
- GHC (tested on 8.0)
- cabal-install (tested on 1.24)
Installing
Elocrypt is on Hackage. Installation is as easy as:
cabal install elocrypt
Binaries are also available:
Running
Generate a list passwords:
elocrypt [length]
You can also generate random phrases (1 per line):
elocrypt --passphrases [min-length] [max-length]
Obtaining the source
Elocrypt sources can be found
Building
In order to build or install you will need
- GHC (tested on 8.0)
- Haskell Stack (tested on 1.24)
Build elocrypt:
stack setup
stack build
Then, install (if desired):
stack install
API Documentation
The full API documentation is on hackage @ https://hackage.haskell.org/package/elocrypt/docs. To build the documentation yourself, run
stack haddock
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 Data.Elocrypt.newPassword
import Data.Elocrypt
...
-- Generate a word of length 10
fooGen :: IO String
fooGen = newPassword 10 `liftM` getStdGen
Alternatively, you can use Data.Elocrypt.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
