# goofy-names

### Generate a deterministic Docker container-like name from a string

Works both in a browser and in Node.js.

~2.8Kb gzip compressed, requires only `simple-sha1`.

Uses SHA1 hash for both complete determinism and a very good distribution.

## Installation

`npm i goofy-names`

## Usage

```js
const goofyName = require("goofy-names");

const name = goofyName("3ccf40d8-901f-11ed-aaba-c347cf56a42d");

name === "Dreamy Poincare";
```

```js
// Your bundler must handle JSON (it is usually the case)
import goofyName from "goofy-names";

const name = goofyName("3ccf40d8-901f-11ed-aaba-c347cf56a42d");

name === "Dreamy Poincare";
```
