hyperdyperid

Fastest random ID and random string generation for Node.js

- str3_36 — generates random 3 character Base36 alphanumeric string.
- str5_36 — generates random 5 character Base36 alphanumeric string.
- str6_36 — generates random 6 character Base36 alphanumeric string.
- str10_36 — generates random 10 character alphanumeric string.
- str(len [, alphabet]) — generates any length random string using an alphabet. Use like str(10, '0123456789').
- hyperid — generates "hyperid" like ID.
- xorshift32 — iterates through pseudo random numbers using "xorshift32" algorithm. This used
to be the algorithm behind Math.random() in V8, then it switched to "xorshift64".
- randomU32(min, max) — generate a random 32-bit integer.

Usage

Install

``
yarn add hyperdyperid
`

Generate base36 10-character string:

`js
const {str10_36} = require('hyperdyperid/lib/str10_36');

str10_36();
// lxifpmidcr
// cn41vpmtxo
// dj2u5ghp3r
// 6yro5d0g9l
