# Interface TextRandomProvider

public interface TextRandomProvider
TextRandomProvider implementations are used by `RandomStringGenerator` as a source of randomness. It is highly recommended that the Apache Commons RNG library be used to provide the random number generation.

When using Java 8 or later, TextRandomProvider is a functional interface and need not be explicitly implemented. For example:

     UniformRandomProvider rng = RandomSource.create(...);
     RandomStringGenerator gen = RandomStringGenerator.builder()
         .usingRandom(rng::nextInt)
         // additional builder calls as needed
         .build();
