Consider adding some types!

[evert]

I'm looking for library just like this for my project. If it had Typescript types I would have picked this one!

@evert Came across this from a quick Google Search, after looking around I found a drop-in replacement with types: https://github.com/grempe/niceware-ts

thanks! I ended up downloading the EFF word list and writing a few lines of code instead of bringing in a dependency:

export async function loadWordList(quiet = false) {
  if (wordList.length === 0) {
    const __dirname = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
    if (!quiet) console.info('🎲 Loading EFF large word list');
    const result = await readFile(join(__dirname, '../assets/eff_large_wordlist.txt'), 'utf8');
    for(const line of result.split('\n')) {
      wordList.push(line.split('\t')[1]);
    }
  }
}


/**
 * Generates a random 'diceware' password, which is a memorable password
 * consisting of several words.
 */
export function generatePassword(): string {


  if (wordList.length < 7000) {
    throw new Error('EFF wordlist was not loaded. Stopping password generation as a security measure.');
  }
  const words = [];
  for(let i=0; i < 6; i++) {
    words.push(wordList[crypto.randomInt(0, wordList.length)]);
  }
  return words.join('-');
}
