React Lorem Component

A component for React that renders paragraph or list item tags full of lorem ipsum placeholder text.

Installation

Install via npm:

% npm install react-lorem-component

Usage

This library provides a React component named Lorem which renderes pseudo-random lorem ipsum text.

var React = require('react');
var Lorem = require('react-lorem-component');

var MyComponent = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Lorem Ipsum</h1>
        <Lorem />
      </div>
    );
  }
});

The above <Lorem /> tag by default renders five paragraphs of lorem wrapped in a <div>.

Configuration Options

You can pass the following props to the Lorem component to fine-tune the output.

Prop Default Description
mode 'paragraphs' if set to 'list', instead of <p> tags wrapped in a <div> it renders <li>s wrapped in an <ul>
ordered false if mode is set to 'list' and this prop has a truthy value, the list items are wrapped in an <ol> tag
seed 0 the seed of the random number generator used for generating lorem text; changing this to a different natural number generates a different text
count 5 number of paragraphs to generate
sentenceLowerBound 5 minimum words per sentence
sentenceUpperBound 15 maximum words per sentence
paragraphLowerBound 3 minimum sentences per paragraph
paragraphUpperBound 7 maximum sentences per paragraph
format 'html' plain text or html
words ['ad','dolor',...] custom word dictionary

The last seven properties are send directly to the lorem-ipsum node module which is used internally to generate the lorem text.

Other properties you pass (eg. className) are transferred to the wrapping tag.
