Generate and Extract Random Data with RandoPHP

RandoPHP is a package by Roberto Butti that implements random generators (Integer, Char, Byte, etc.) and takes random samples from arrays. This package can be broken down into two distinct types of operations: generating things and drawing from existing arrays.

RandoPHP provides a fluent interface to generate integers, dates, floats, etc. to help you generate data:

// Generate char

Randomize::char()->numeric()->generate();

Randomize::char()->alpha()->generate();

Randomize::char()->alphanumeric()->generate();

// Generate a boolean (flip a coin)

Randomize::boolean()->generate();

// Generate floats and integers

$randomFloat = Randomize::float()->generate();

$randomFloat = Randomize::float()->min(0)->max(90)->generate();

$randomNumber = Randomize::integer()->min(1)->max(6)->generate();

$randomNumber = Randomize::integer()->range(1,6)->generate();

// Generate sequences (i.e. roll the dice 15 times)

$randomRolls = Randomize::sequence()

    ->min(1)

    ->max(6)

    ->count(15)

    ->generate();

// Generate a random sequence of 10 alpha-numeric chars

Randomize::sequence()

    ->chars()

    ->alphanumeric()

    ->count(10)

    ->generate();

Secondly, you can draw random stuff from existing arrays using the Draw class:

<br></br>$array=["React.js", "Vue.js", "Svelte.js", "Angular.js" , "Alpine.js", "Vanilla js"];

// Draw one

$randomJs = Draw::sample($array)->extract();

// Draw three

$randomJs = Draw::sample($array)->count(3)->extract();

// Draw three, duplicates allowed

$randomJs = Draw::sample($array)

    ->count(3)

    ->allowDuplicates()

    ->extract();

The examples in this article were taken from the project’s readme, which has full details on usage. You can view this package’s source code on GitHub at Hi-Folks/rando-php.
