Generate Chinese name by using Node.js with ❤️.

$ npm --save install chinese-random-name

First you need to require this package:

const randomName = require('chinese-random-name');

If you're using it from Browser environment, do require chinese-random-name/random.min.

Use generate() function:

console.log(randomName.generate());

Use getOne function in surnames.

console.log(randomName.surnames.getOne());

getOne has an optional parameter opt. You may pass a field named useSurnamesCountAtTheTop to specify only get surname from most top useSurnamesCountAtTheTop surnames. e.g.

randomName.surnames.getOne({ useSurnamesCountAtTheTop: 100 });

It means the function only select a random surname from the most top 100 surnames.

Use get / get1 / get2 / get3 function in names.

• get: returns a random name and its length between 1 and 3.
• get1: returns a random name with length 1. (you can pass a parameter which may be "金" / "木" / "水" / "火" / "土" or leave it blank)
• get2: returns a random name with length 2. (you can pass "金金" / "金木" / ... or leave it blank)
• get3: returns a random name with length 3. (you can pass "金金金" / "水火土" / ... or leave it blank)
• dict: the dictionary object.

Examples:

randomName.names.get();
randomName.names.get1();
randomName.names.get2();
randomName.names.get3();
randomName.names.get1("金");
randomName.names.get2("木水");
randomName.names.get3("火火火");
