Dead simple Markov chain text generation

GitHub License Crates.io (markovish) GitHub Actions Workflow Status docs.rs

Super simple (and fast) Markov chains in Rust.

use markovish::Chain;

let fortune = r#"
This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.  If this had been an
actual emergency, do you really think we'd stick around to tell you?
"#;

let chain = Chain::from_text(fortune).unwrap();
let new_fortune = chain.generate_str(&mut rand::thread_rng(), 300);

This project is mostly for my personal use in pandoras_pot, but PRs and issues are welcome.

This crate is aimed to be very simple, and the current aim is to do the following well:

  1. Take some input text.
  2. Parse it.
  3. Generate an infinite string of new text using that.

More information about usage and the like can be found in the crate docs and in the examples.

If you want to save a chain, you can enable the serde feature and serialize it.
