A never ending stream of nonsense using Markov chains and speeches of famous people.
This module is an extension to the excellent Markoff module, that comes pre-packaged with data to quickly generate filler text from profiles of various speeches.
See the data directory for a full list of what data comes supplied with this module.
var twaddle = require('twaddle');
console.log( twaddle.generate('politics-us-kennedy-f-john', {sentences: 1}) ); // Ask not what your country...
You can also supply twaddle.generate()
with an array of ID's which will merge these data packs together:
var twaddle = require('twaddle');
console.log( twaddle.generate(['politics-us-trump-j-donald', 'politics-de-hitler-adolph'], {paragraphs: 5}) );
var twaddle = require('twaddle');
twaddle.register('lincoln', __dirname + '/test/data/gettysburg.txt'))
console.log( twaddle.generate({words: 10}) ); // Four score and eleven...
See the test directory for more complex examples.
Register a file of text against the ID to use later
Compile the given ID into a chain. This is done automatically if generate(id)
is called without the chain being present.
Generate the specified amount of text.
