reddit-style-username-generator/src/utils.ts

A utility for generating and storing unique username combinations in Redis. This package reads usernames from a file, generates combinations with specified colors and nouns, and stores them in a Redis set.

import colors from './data/colors';
import nouns from './data/nouns';

}

  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}
