 ## Installation
 
@@ -64,9 +70,34 @@ Or install it yourself as:
 
     $ gem install nice_hash
 
+## Configuration
+
+Set these constants **before** `require 'nice_hash'` if you need to change default behavior:
+
+- **`SP_ADD_TO_RUBY`** (default: `true`): When `true`, the gem adds methods to core classes (`Hash`, `Array`, `String`, `Object`, `Date`, `Time`, etc.). Set to `false` to avoid patching core classes and use only `NiceHash` class methods.
+- **`SP_COMPARE_NUMBERS_AS_STRINGS`** (default: `true`): When `true`, `String#==` is overridden so that strings are compared with numbers as strings (e.g. `'300' == 300` and `'' == nil`). Set to `false` if this causes issues with other gems (e.g. some versions of `net/ldap`).
+
+When using **string_pattern** 2.4+, you can also set **`StringPattern.logger`** (e.g. `Logger.new($stderr)`) to redirect generation/validation messages, and **`StringPattern.raise_on_error = true`** to raise on invalid patterns or impossible generation instead of returning empty strings.
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+SP_COMPARE_NUMBERS_AS_STRINGS = false
+require 'nice_hash'
+```
+
 ## Usage
 
-Remember!! To generate the strings following a pattern take a look at the documentation for string_pattern gem: https://github.com/MarioRuiz/string_pattern. You can also generate Spanish or English words. We added support for generating strings from regular expressions but it is only working for the ´generate´ method, use it with caution since it is still on an early stage of development. All you have to do is to add to a key the value as a Regular expression, for example the key uuid in here will generate a random value like this: "E0BDE5B5-A738-49E6-83C1-9D1FFB313788"

+
+For **UUID v4** you can use the shorthand `:uuid` (requires string_pattern 2.4+):
+
+```ruby
+my_hash = { id: :uuid, key: "Wsdf88888", doomId: :"10:N" }
+# id will be like "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"

 ```
 
+**Reproducible generation (seed)**  
+With **string_pattern** 2.4+, pass `seed:` to get the same hash every time (useful for tests):
+
+```ruby
+new_hash = my_hash.generate(:correct, seed: 42)
+# Same result every time for the same seed
+```
+
+**Generate n hashes at once**  
+Use `generate_n` (alias `gen_n`) to build several different hashes in one call (e.g. for bulk or boundary tests):
+
+```ruby
+hashes = NiceHash.generate_n(my_hash, 5, :correct)
+hashes = my_hash.generate_n(5, :correct)   # or my_hash.gen_n(5, :correct)
+# With seed: hashes = my_hash.generate_n(5, :correct, seed: 123)

 ### Other useful methods
 
+#### Hash diff
+Compare two hashes and get differences with dot-notation paths (useful for API or test assertions):
+
+```ruby
+expected = { user: { address: { city: "Madrid" } } }
+actual   = { user: { address: { city: "London" } } }
+NiceHash.diff(expected, actual)
+#=> { "user.address.city" => { expected: "Madrid", got: "London" } }
+
+# Or on a hash instance:
+expected.diff(actual)
+```
+
+#### Flatten / unflatten keys
+Convert between nested hashes and flat hashes with dot-notation keys:
+
+```ruby
+h = { user: { address: { city: "Madrid" } } }
+h.flatten_keys
+#=> { "user.address.city" => "Madrid" }
+
+{ "user.address.city" => "Madrid" }.unflatten_keys
+#=> { user: { address: { city: "Madrid" } } }
+```
+
 #### Time stamp
 In case you need the time stamp, we added the method `stamp` to the `Time` class
