alphanumbers
Converts numbers to alphabetical strings and back.
Because I don't like to use numbers in URL paths, this nodejs module converts them to an alphabetical string.
This is NOT a cryptographic module. Please don't use it as such.
Intended Use
This library is intended to convert numbers to characters and back for display only. Please use caution if storing the results as subsequent versions may change the character conversion sets.
Example
Converts 11121314 to HAQhW.
E.g.: http://example.com/users/11121314 becomes http://example.com/users/HAQhW
var alphanum = require('alphanumbers');
var str = alphanum.toAlpha(11121314);
//str = HAQhW
var num = alphanum.toNumeric('HAQhW');
//num = 11121314
Includes the replaceAll utility function as found on http://stackoverflow.com/a/6714233/153083 but doesn't add it as a prototype method.
replaceAll: function(sourceString, findStr, replaceWithStr, ignoreCase)
var str = alphanum.replaceAll('x','x','xyz',false);
// str = xyz
