simple-id

A library for generating short, user-friendly, random IDs.

Install

npm install simple-id

Usage

``javascript
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:

`javascript
simpleId(9);
simpleId(8, "0123456789abcdef");
`

Implementation

The implementation uses the cryptographically strong crypto.getRandomValues()`
function and provides uniformly distributed random IDs. It has no other
dependencies.
