zid

Generate random strings made up of [A-Za-z0-9] that are also URL compatible. Only good package name of '?id' left.

You choose the length. No underscore, no dash, no slash or backslash, indeed no other chars.

Synopsis

var zid = require('zid')
 
console.log(zid(6))
// -> 'fA8ljv'
 
console.log(zid(12))
// -> 'vy9gDZwKJmdK'
 
console.log(zid(0))
// -> throws
 
console.log(zid(-1))
// -> throws
 
console.log(zid())
// -> throws
 
console.log(zid('hello'))
// -> throws
 

Options

lookalikes

You can also exclude lookalike chars such as OISZbl by using { lookalikes: false }:

console.log(zid({ lookalikes: false }))
// -> returns an ID using these chars only:
// -> ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRTUVWXYacdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789
// -> i.e. no OISZbl
