# string
```js
// usage
chance.string()
chance.string({ length: 5 })
chance.string({ pool: 'abcde' })
chance.string({ alpha: true })
chance.string({ casing: 'lower' })
chance.string({ symbols: true })
```
Return a random string.
```js
chance.string();
=> 'Z&Q78&fqkPq'
```
By default it will return a string with random length of 5-20 characters and
will contain any of the following characters.
```js
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@#$%^&*()[]'
```
Can optionally specify a length and the string will be exactly that length.
```js
chance.string({ length: 5 });
=> 'YN%fG'
```
Can optionally specify a pool and the string will be generated with characters
only from that pool.
```js
chance.string({ pool: 'abcde' });
=> 'cccdeeabedebb'
```
Of course these options can also be combined.
```js
chance.string({ length: 5, pool: 'abcde' });
=> 'cbbdc'
```
All the options for [chance.character()](./character.md) are supported:
```js
chance.string({ length: 8, casing: 'upper', alpha: true, numeric: true });
=> '3THK7GB1'
```
