TextRandomProvider

All Superinterfaces:

java.util.function.IntUnaryOperator
```
public interface TextRandomProvider
extends java.util.function.IntUnaryOperator
```
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.
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();
 
 
```
