This project was undertaken to modify given CSS and HTML source code, and add to it the dynamic functionality of Javascript to produce a random password based on given criteria. Based on a series of prompts that appear when an eventListener alerts the source code to run the writePassword function on clicking, the Javascript will run the additional functions to select from special characters, numbers and upper and lower case letters from the user's input. Certain conditions must be met to get the function to run, including a numerical input between 8 and 128 for the length and at least one type of character must be chosen.

This web applicaton is also styled to be responsive to given screen size. This provides accessibility from mobile devices.

This project can be viewed and used using any web browser from the link provided.

Password Generator

This page can be accessed and used to randomly populate a password. To generate a random password, you will first click the "Generate Password" button to start the prompts. First, you must select a number between 8 and 128, which is parsed to an integer. The first validation occurs here, where the number must be between the given values. Once a proper number has been entered, the prompts will take you through whether you want to include special characters, numbers, lower and upper case letters. The next validation occurs here, where you must select at least one type of special character. Both validations to this point will return an undefined password if there are no proper length or characters selected.

Once the length and characters are confirmed, the characters undergo further validation given the length of the password selected, to populate into possible values for the getRandom function. Once the chosen characters have been run through the getRandom function and been sorted into the array, the writePassword function will fire and print the password to the passwordText field, and shown on the screen.

I used my Bootcamp course materials, and some minor help from my classmates and LAs. I also relied on some Youtube videos for ideas on how to set up the random functions, special thanks to Traversy Media for that.
