Markov-text NPM

Markov Text

A simple procedural text generator implementing Markov chains

Markov Chain

Installation

npm install markov-text

Usage

    var Markov = require('markov-text');

    const trainingText = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit ammet'

    options = {...}
    
    const loremGenerator = new Markov(options) // Setup generator
    
    loremGenerator.seed(trainingText) // Seed chain with "training" text

    const generatedText = loremGenerator.generate(5) // Set length of the generated output.

Method	Arguments	Returns	Description
seed	trainingText	-	Seeds the generator with the training text. The generator splits the text into nGrams (pieces of n-characters or n-words length, depending on the mode)analog to chainlinks.
generate	outputLength	output	Returns the generated text of the specified length. (Length is in ngrams not in charcters/words)

Options

You can pass in an options object when instancing the generator that accepts the following options:

Property	Type	Options	Default	Description
order	integer	1-n	no	Specifies the length of the ngrams (chainlinks). Longer chainlinks will produce more coherent text but less 'creativity'
mode	string	'single'	'multiple'	'multiple'	Single mode will generate single words and will use training text as single independent words. Multiple mode will generate sentences and will use training text as word blocks.
