RandomuserEx

Elixir wrapper to consume randomuser.me API. This is just a way to make easier the use of this service in your Phoenix applications, all the credits of the development of the service are of their creators.

You can see the complete documentation of the API here.

Installation

Add randomuser_ex to your dependencies in your mix.exs:

defp deps do
  [
    {:randomuser_ex, "~> 0.1.1"}
  ]
end

and run mix deps.get.

Usage

There's two main functions which we'll use in order to get some random users from the API. This two functions will return:

• {:ok, user(s)}: in case of sucess.
• {:error, reason}: in case of error.

RandomuserEx.get_one/1

This will allow us to get just one random user matching the options specified in the params. For example:

iex(1)> {:ok, user} = RandomuserEx.get_one(%{gender: :male})
iex(2)> user.name
%RandomuserEx.Name{first: "frederikke", last: "hansen", title: "mr"}
iex(3)> user.name.last
"hansen"

RandomuserEx.get_many/2

This will allow us to get N random users matching the options specified in the params. For example:

iex(1)> {:ok, users} = RandomuserEx.get_many(%{nat: :es}, 20)
iex(2)> length(users)
20
iex(3)> Enum.at(users, 0)
%RandomuserEx.RandomUser{cell: "653-661-792", email: "[email protected]",
gender: "male", ...}

Here you have a list of some options that you can use to get random users:

param	description	values
:gender	The gender of the user(s)	:male or :female
:password	Format of the password generated for the user(s)	string of combinations of upper, lower, special and number. E.g: "upper,special,1-8"
