Word Management

Select a random word!

Word management is another feature of Textify that manages a list of words and generates a random set of words.

---

Usage

You can use the WordManager class found in the Textify.Data.Words namespace.

Available functions

You can use the WordManager class that contains the following functions:

Function	Description
InitializeWords()	Initializes the whole group of words
GetWords()	Gets a random set of words
GetRandomWord()	Gets a random word
GetRandomWordConditional()	Gets a random word conditionally

The asynchronous version of the functions is provided for web applications and other apps that require async operations.

Available word flavors

You can also select one of the following flavors (WordDataType) of the word list:

Flavor	Description
Words	Word list
WordsFull	Word list, including alphanumeric characters
WordsDirty	Word list, including offensive words (18+)
WordsDirtyFull	Word list, including offensive words (18+) and alphanumeric characters
BadWords	Offensive words list (18+) for bad word filtering
CommonWords	Common word list
CommonWordsDirty	Common word list, including offensive words (18+)

The last three word flavors contains offensive words that may not be suitable for users and developers, so it's best not to use them unless you have a reason to, such as swearing filters that Textify provides. Considering this point, we've decided to move the words list to its own flavor, WordsDirty, and clean all possible offensive words in the Words flavor.

Profanity filter

Textify provides a profanity filter that lets you sanitize your sentences from any possible profanity. You can find it under the ProfanityManager class in the Textify.Data.Words.Profanity namespace.

Function	Description
GetProfanities()	Gets all profanities found
FilterProfanities()	Filters all profanities found

Methods of analysis

The profanity filter can analyze your sentences in four ways:

Method	Description
Thorough	Thorough searching. May not find swearing embedded in two or more words.
Shallow	Shallow searching. May not find swearing embedded in two or more words and/or separated by whitespace.
Mitigated	Mitigated partial searching. May not find swearing that has its characters separated by whitespace.
Partial	Partial searching. May cause legitimate words to be found, such as Scunthorpe (a town in the UK) and Classic.
