# RandomuserEx

Elixir wrapper to consume [randomuser.me](https://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](https://randomuser.me/documentation).

## Installation

Add ``randomuser_ex`` to your dependencies in your ``mix.exs``:

```elixir
defp deps do
  [
    {:randomuser_ex, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
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:

```elixir
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:

```elixir
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: "juan.serrano@example.com",
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" |
| `:nat` | Nationality of the user(s) by the ISO code | `:au`, `:br`, `:ca`, `:ch`, `:de`, `:dk`, `:es`, `:fi`, `:fr`, `:gb`, `:ie`, `:ir`, `:nl`, `:nz`, `:tr`, `:us` |

You can find the complete list of options [here](https://randomuser.me/documentation).
