Custom names

You can implement your own custom naming function by creating a file called custom-name.js that exports a function that returns a filename. Here is an example:

const _ = require("lodash");
const fs = require("fs");

const nouns = fs.readFileSync("nouns.txt").toString().split("\n");

module.exports = () => {
	const noun = _.sample(nouns);
	return (noun.match(/^[aeiou]/i) ? "an-" : "a-") + noun;
};

More examples for custom naming functions can be found in the examples directory.

Notes

• Ensure that the user you run the shitty.dl process as has write permissions to imagePath.
• Make sure your paste theme has the same scheme as your site - i.e. if your site is HTTPS, the theme must be HTTPS too.
• When running shitty.dl it is suggested to set NODE_ENV=production environmental variable to ensure any errors that might happen are not passed on in detail to end user.
