Randfacts is a Python module that generates random facts. You can use `randfacts.get_fact()` to return a random fun fact. Disclaimer: Facts are not guaranteed to be true.

# Installation

randfacts can either be installed via pip or via the AUR, whichever way you prefer.

### Installation via uv/pipx/pip:

```sh
# Install with UV:
$ uv tool install randfacts

# Or just try it out:
$ uvx randfacts

# Install with pipx:
$ pipx install randfacts

# Install with bare pip:
$ pip3 install randfacts
```

### Installation via AUR:

Via your AUR helper, like paru:

```sh
$ paru -S python-randfacts
```

Or manually

```sh
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/python-randfacts.git && cd python-randfacts
$ makepkg -si
```

# Usage and examples

```python
import randfacts
x = randfacts.get_fact()
print(x)
```

The above example will print a random fact like:
`Penguins can't taste sweet or savory flavors, only sour and salty ones`

This package has a filter option to filter out potentially inappropriate facts. The filter is on by default. To disable the filter, you can just set the `filter_enabled` parameter to `False`.

```python
from randfacts import get_fact
print(get_fact(False))
# or
print(get_fact(filter_enabled=False))
```

`get_fact` also has a parameter that will make the function only return unsafe facts. This argument takes precedence over the `filter_enabled` argument. For example:

```py
print(get_fact(only_unsafe=True))
```

If you want to access the list of facts directly, you can just import the `safe_facts`, `unsafe_facts`, or `all_facts` lists from the randfacts module.

## Command line usage

randfacts can be executed via the command line with the following commands:

Normal execution; only SFW (safe for work) facts

```sh
$ python3 -m randfacts
```

The unsafe argument can be supplied to provide only NSFW (not safe for work) facts

```sh
$ python3 -m randfacts --unsafe
```

The mixed argument can be provided to provide both SFW and NSFW facts.

```sh
$ python3 -m randfacts --mixed
```

More help.

```sh
$ python3 -m randfacts --help
```

# Contributing

Contributions are welcome, this project uses [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) to manage it's dependencies, so setup is very simple.

## Development Setup

1. Make sure uv is properly installed
2. Fork and clone the repository with `git clone git@github.com:your-username/randfacts.git`
3. Install dependencies with `uv sync --dev`
4. After making changes, ensure the tests pass, and add any unit tests needed to bring code coverage to 100% with the following command:

```sh
# check everything, if you're just working on one particular issue,
# see the Makefile for more granular tasks
make check-all
```

## Duplicate facts test

I've created a fairly complex duplicate fact detection test in Rust. It will be easier to run on your machine to check/fix any issues, but it also runs in CI if you don't want to set up Rust. It can be run with the following:

```sh
cd tests/checkduplicates
cargo run --release
```
