Module Usage

Require personae into your file and create a new Personae class.

const Personae = require('personae');
 
const person = new Personae();
 
const options = {
  name: 'Dan',
  alignment: 'Chaotic Neutral',
  klass: 'Ranger',
  age: '300',
  race: 'Dwarf',
  theme: 'classical',
};
 
const brotherOpts = {
  name: 'Li',
  gender: 'male',
};
 
const dan = person.generate(options);
 
const parentsOfDan = person.generateParents(dan);
const brother = person.generateChild(brotherOpts, parentsOfDan.mother, parentsOfDan.father);

While configuring your character's options please note that in JavaScript 'class' is a special keyword, so personae uses 'klass'.
