The string representation for the "ModeNumeric" enumeration member was incorrectly labeled as "Number". This has been corrected to "Numeric" in the mode tests file mode_test.go to maintain correct and consistent naming conventions.
The previously named "AlgoUnsupported" has been replaced with "AlgoCoinflip" in the algorithm tests in algo_test.go. Additionally, the "AlgoUnsupported" test has been moved down to keep the test sequence logical and comprehensive.
The password generation algorithm is now customizable via the `WithAlgorithm()` function, giving users more control over password generation. Tests have been added to 'config_test.go' to ensure correct functionality of the new option. Additionally, the variable naming in 'config.go' has been improved for better readability.
The import path of the module "apg-go" has been changed to "src.neessen.cloud/wneessen/apg-go". Furthermore the copyright year mentioned in the usage text has been updated to 2024.
The go.mod file was updated to reflect a new module path and an upgrade in Go version. The module path is now set to src.neessen.cloud/wneessen/apg-go, and the Go version has been updated to 1.22.
Added code to check if set minimum password requirements are met after generating a random password. If not, the password generation process is repeated.
This not only adds an extra layer of security but also ensures that all set criteria for the password are met.
Also enhanced error handling in functions that could return a negative integer when asked for a random number.
Changed 'minimum amount of' parameter descriptions in apg.go to avoid confusion.
Introduced a new password generation algorithm, called 'coinflip', which simply returns "Heads" or "Tails". Associated CLI flag has been added as well. Also, improved error messages during password generation. This addition provides a simpler algorithm option and clearer user feedback during errors.
Added comments for minimum requirements parameters in config.go to provide clarity on their purpose. This was necessary to increase code readability, making it easier for future developer reference.
Replaced all instances of "Number" with "Numeric" in the password
generator. This modification will make the password generation code
more intuitive and readable. Moreover, minimum character requirements
were added for each character type, giving more flexibility to the
password generation settings.
The usage message has been updated in apg.go to improve its clarity and usefulness. Changes include displaying the version number dynamically, providing the project's GitHub link, changing the term 'options' to 'flags', and more precise terminology in descriptions. Also, formatting has been adjusted to improve readability.
A FixedLength field was added to the Config struct and a corresponding command line flag was added in `apg.go`. The field allows for the generation of passwords of a fixed length, overriding the MinLength and MaxLength values if present. Revised the `random.go` script to accommodate this change. The option for fixed length enhances the flexibility and customization of the password generation tool.
Updated the password generator to include default modes for characters along with options to enable complex password mode and toggle specific character types in passwords from the command line. This allows for greater customization and more user control in password generation, especially useful for applications with unique password requirements."
Test suite `TestIntToAlgo` was added to `algo_test.go` to validate `IntToAlgo` function. Additionally, Algorithm constants in `algo.go` have been prefixed with "Algo". These changes were made in order to make the code clearer and ensure the function returns the expected values for the given inputs.
Updated mode tests to include a new Mode, ModeHumanReadable, and created an additional test case, ModeComplexNoHumanReadable. This was done because a more human readable mode was required for some use cases. Also added a test function TestMode_String to ensure the .String() method of each mode works as intended.
The ordering of modes in the existing test was changed to logically group them together. In addition, a new test was added, `TestModesFromFlags`, to cover multiple different conditions including complex modes and cases where certain mode elements are excluded. This expansion in testing enhances our coverage of varied mode settings.
This commit primarily reorders the modes in the "mode_test.go" file for consistency. The order is now; ModeHumanReadable, ModeLowerCase, ModeNumber, ModeSpecial, ModeUpperCase. This now follows a logical order instead of the previous semi arbitrary one.
The commit also involves the addition of a new test case 'TestModesFromFlags' in the "mode_test.go" file. This test case aims at increasing the code coverage and ensuring modes obtained from the flags are correct.
Lastly, the 'ModesFromFlags' function in the "mode.go" has been slightly refactored for improved readability. This does not change the functionality and thus won't affect the rest of the codebase.
The naming and handling of mode bitmasks have been refactored for improved code readability and maintainability. The term "Mode" was replaced with "ModeMask" for clarity and all associated functions were renamed accordingly (e.g., "SetMode" to "MaskSetMode"). These changes provide better insight into the function of the code and increase understandability for future development efforts. The command-line utility now also supports specifying modes via the "-M" flag.
Refactored the generator to include a new config option, changed function signatures to follow the new structure, and renamed the function 'RandomString' to 'RandomStringFromCharRange' for clarity. Also, added a new mode and algorithm feature to enhance password generation. Furthermore, added several tests for new features and configurations. Adapted the CLI to use the new configuration approach. This refactoring was necessary to improve the customizability and clarity of the password generation process. Fixed minor issues and added '.gitignore' for clean commits in the future.
