A zero dependency corpus based placeholder text generator with deterministic output.
import { generateText, Corpus } from "placetext";
const text = generateText({ corpus: Corpus.Classic, sentences: 5 });
console.log(text);
Generates text using a selected corpus.
Common options:
- corpus Corpus or string array
- words number
- sentences number
- paragraphs number
- seed number
Only one of words, sentences, or paragraphs should be provided.
Low level generator for custom flows.
import { createGenerator } from "placetext";
const g = createGenerator(["alpha", "beta", "gamma"], { seed: 7 });
console.log(g.sentences(2));
Short samples so users know what they get.
generateText({ corpus: Corpus.Classic, sentences: 1 });
// "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit."
generateText({ corpus: Corpus.Tech, sentences: 1 });
// "Algorithm buffer async backend protocol interface."
generateText({ corpus: Corpus.Startup, sentences: 1 });
// "Leverage synergy accelerate innovative paradigm solution."
generateText({ corpus: Corpus.Concise, sentences: 1 });
// "Time moves fast people learn quickly things change often."
generateText({ corpus: Corpus.Musk, sentences: 1 });
// "Mars starship neural rocket accelerate future."
const words = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
generateText({ corpus: words, sentences: 2 });
const a = generateText({ corpus: Corpus.Tech, sentences: 3, seed: 42 });
const b = generateText({ corpus: Corpus.Tech, sentences: 3, seed: 42 });
// a and b are identical
Import only what you need to reduce bundle size.
import { createGenerator } from "placetext/core";
import { tech } from "placetext/corpora/tech";
const g = createGenerator(tech);
Most placeholder generators are tied to lorem ipsum, include unnecessary dependencies, or lack deterministic output. placetext provides:
- zero dependencies
- full TypeScript implementation
- deterministic mode for tests
- multiple built in corpora
- low level and high level APIs
