Pattern based string generator library and CLI

wildling

Dart library and CLI for pattern-based string generation. Zero third-party packages (dart:convert / dart:io / dart:core only). Requires Dart SDK 3.0+.

Docs: Website · Sandbox · Syntax · Source

Registry: pub.dev

Example

http://${'dev,stage,prod'}\-${'api,web'}#{0-2}.example.${'com,net,org'}/@.html

(The \- is a literal hyphen; bare - would mean “one letter or digit”. @ is one lowercase letter.)

That builds URL-shaped candidates: scheme http://, then environment × service × optional digits × TLD, then a one-letter path page. Three environments, two services, zero–two digits ('', 0–9, 00–99), three TLDs, and a–z → 51948 strings — the kind of list you generate for fuzzing links or probing staging hosts, not type out.

A few of them:

• http://dev-api.example.com/a.html / http://stage-web.example.com/z.html
• http://dev-api0.example.net/a.html / http://prod-web9.example.org/m.html
• http://dev-api00.example.com/a.html / http://prod-web99.example.org/z.html

Named dictionaries (%{'hosts'}) work the same way when the word lists live in files.

Try it in the sandbox, or see pattern syntax for length ranges, dictionaries, and escapes.
