cgisf_lib

A random sentence generator, still without commas.

Has three functions:

  • cgisf(), to generate a sentence;
  • get_word(), to generate a word of a certain kind; and
  • get_structure(), to get the structure of a sentence.

cgisf is a reference to 'Colourless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously' - a 1957 example of a sentence that is grammatical but makes no sense. Similarly, don't expect these sentences to make that much sense either.

The documentation is significantly better than this silly README file.

Contributions welcome at https://github.com/merelymyself/cgisf_lib.

A massive amount of credit goes to CordlessCoder, who single-handedly rewrote practically everything for the 0.2.0 release.


lib.rs:

A random sentence generator, still without commas.

Has three functions:

  • [gen_sentence()], to generate a sentence;
  • [gen_word()], to generate a word of a certain kind; and
  • [gen_structure()], to generate the structure of a sentence based on your SentenceConfig.

[dependencies]
cgisf = "0.2.1"

Then,

A deeper explanation can be found in the individual functions' pages.
