How to Import

Components

import { LoremIpsum, Avatar } from 'react-lorem-ipsum';

Functions

import { loremIpsum, name, surname, fullname, username } from 'react-lorem-ipsum';

Props

LoremIpsum (Component), loremIpsum (function)

loremIpsum is function version of the component LoremIpsum which generates plain text instead of HTML. They both get the same props/inputs as a single object.

Name	Type	Default	Description
p	number	1	Number of paragraphs that will be generated
avgWordsPerSentence	number	8	Avarage number of words created for each sentence (standard deviation is fixed ±25%)
avgSentencesPerParagraph	number	8	Avarage number of sentences created for each paragraph (standard deviation is fixed ±25%)
startWithLoremIpsum	bool	true	Start with 'Lorem ipsum odor amet...' to first sentence of first paragraph
random	bool	true	If disabled always generates the same text

Note: If you use loremIpsum function to generate plain text, it will return an "Array" with length of the desired count. You can use "Array.map" or similar methods to process the data. See Examples for details.

Avatar (Component)

Name	Type	Default	Description
gender	string	'all'	Gender for the Avatar picture. Possible values are 'all', 'male' and 'female'.

Note: Avatar component returns an <img /> tag with a random image. All other props like "className, width, height, alt" etc. will directly passed to element.

name, fullname (Functions)

Name	Type	Default	Description
gender	string	'all'	Gender for the generated name or full name. Possible values are 'all', 'male' and 'female'.

surname, username (Functions)

Props
