Fake text, powered by Markov chains
markov-chains-text is a simple, Markov chain-based text generator written in
JavaScript, and designed for both Node and the browser. It can be used to
generate random sentences modeled after a large corpus of text.
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import Text from 'markov-chains-text';
const MobyDick = readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'moby-dick.txt'));
// build the generator
const fakeMobyDick = new Text(MobyDick);
// generate a sentence
const sentence = fakeMobyDick.makeSentence();
console.log(sentence);
// Example output:
//
// And as the Porpoise is the harpooneer might be his immediate purpose,
// touching his own kith and kin to noble Benjamin--this day darting the
// barbed iron from one to the captain dared not attempt, he snatched the
// rope attached to it--for they were humbug.
//markov-chains-text relies on Maps and Generators, which are available
natively in Node v4.0 and above, and in modern versions of many browsers.
For a list of JavaScript environments that support these features, see the ECMAScript Compatability Table.
