From name to uint64

Here is how eosio account name is computed to uint64.

`text
"eosio",
"eosio.msig",
"eosio.token",

---- 6138663577826885632

From uint64 to name

Example

Try on run-kit https://npm.runkit.com/eosjs-account-name

`javascript
const eosjsAccountName = require('eosjs-account-name');
const n = eosjsAccountName.nameToUint64('eosio');

console.log('eosio to uint64: ' + n);

console.log('uint64 to name: ' + eosjsAccountName.uint64ToName(n));
`

$3

symbol.test.js

`javascript
const { symbol, nameToUint64 } = require('eosjs-account-name');

/**
* cleos -u https://eos.greymass.com get scope eosio.token -t stat
*/
const name = '........ehbo5';
const uint64 = nameToUint64(name);
const symbolName = symbol.toName(uint64);

// expect(symbolName).toEqual('EOS');
`

Note on random eosio name

In case you want to generate a random name, I suggest you use nanoid.

`javascript
const generate = require('nanoid/generate');
const alphabet = '.12345abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
generate(alphabet, 12); //=> "nc4zs1yyg.jx"
