random-string

Generates a random string in the desired length. It also supports seeds and specifiying which letters should be used. This function is not cryptographically secure.

Usage

At first you need to install the package using the following command:

npm i @kompanie/random-string

The generate function has three parameters:

• length specifies how long the generated string should be.
• seed is a number, which allows to generate the same string again. Optional.
• allowedCharacters is a string, which specifies all the characters that are allowed in the string. Optional.

// Generate a string containing 5 characters
const result = RandomString.generate(5);

// Generate a string containing 6 characters, using the seed 5
const result = RandomString.generate(6, 5);

// Generate a string containing 7 characters, using the seed 4, using only these characters
const result = RandomString.generate(7, 4, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");

// Generate a string containing 7 characters, using no seed, using only these characters
const result = RandomString.generate(7, null, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
