A library for generating short, user-friendly, random IDs.
npm install simple-id
const simpleId = require("simple-id");
simpleId();By default, an 8-character random ID is generated using a 31-character alphabet
(23456789abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz) which notably excludes the uppercase
letters and 01ilo to avoid ambiguity. This gives about 853 billion possible
permutations. A different length and/or alphabet can be passed as follows:
simpleId(9);
simpleId(8, "0123456789abcdef");The implementation uses the cryptographically strong crypto.getRandomValues()
function and provides uniformly distributed random IDs. It has no other
dependencies.
