Without specifying a longer maxLength, you will typically run into failed attempts of generating phrases when it is not able to find 4 words to fit in the default maxLength of 15. You could also try increasing attempts to a larger value.

Node API

You can require this package in your NodeJS code and pass in the options as an object argument.

Example:

'use strict';

var yawg = require('yawg');

try {
    var password = yawg({
        minWords: 4,
        maxLength: 50,
        attempts: 4,
    });
    console.log('Password is ' + password);
} catch (err) {
    // handle error here
    // either a problem with the provided options
    // or a password couldn't be generated after the
    // given number of attempts
}
