Installing
npm i auth0-id-generator
Using
Simple case:
var IdGenerator = require('auth0-id-generator');
var generator = new IdGenerator();
var id = generator.new('cus');
console.log(id); // cus_lO1DEQWBbQAACfHO
Predefined set of allowed prefixes (to avoid mistakes):
var IdGenerator = require('auth0-id-generator');
var generator = new IdGenerator(['cus', 'con']);
var id = generator.new('cus');
console.log(id); // cus_lO1DEQWBbQAACfHO
generator.new('cli'); // throws
To get a uid (id with a given length and without prefix):
var IdGenerator = require('auth0-id-generator');
var generator = new IdGenerator(['cus', 'con']);
var id = generator.newUid(10);
console.log(id); // lO1DEQWBbQ
New API
Updated api allows more customizations. Uses a new method .get()
:
var generator = new IdGenerator({len: 5, alphabet: 'abc123', prefix: 'foo', separator: ':'});
generator.get(); // -> foo:2a2b1
