Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Generate Password TS

npm version codecov Unit Test

This library generate-password-ts was forked from the original Node.js version generate-password: https://github.com/brendanashworth/generate-password. This forked version was totally re-written in TypeScript from the original JS version and supports not only Node.js but also browsers without need of crypto-browserify.

Generate Password is a (relatively) extensive library for generating random and unique passwords.

Install

$ npm install generate-password-ts --save

or

$ yarn add generate-password-ts

For browsers, you can use node_modules/generate-password-ts/dist/generate-password-ts.bundle.js via script tags. If you simply import it at your code and use webpack (v5+), crypto-browserify should be explicitly ignored by specifying

resolve: {
  fallback: { 'crypto': false }
}

in webpack.config.js.

Usage

generate([options])

Generate one password with the given options. Returns a string.

import generator from 'generate-password';

const password = generator.generate({
	length: 10,
	numbers: true
});

// 'uEyMTw32v9'
console.log(password);

generateMultiple(amount[, options])

Bulk generate multiple passwords at once, with the same options for all. Returns an array.

import generator from 'generate-password';

const passwords = generator.generateMultiple(3, {
	length: 10,
	uppercase: false
});

// [ 'hnwulsekqn', 'qlioullgew', 'kosxwabgjv' ]
console.log(passwords);

Available options

Any of these can be passed into the options object for each function.

| Name | Description | Default Value | |--------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------| | length | Integer, length of password. | 10 | | numbers* | Boolean, put numbers in password. | false | | symbols* | Boolean or String, put symbols in password. | false | | lowercase* | Boolean, put lowercase in password | true | | uppercase* | Boolean, use uppercase letters in password. | true | | excludeSimilarCharacters | Boolean, exclude similar chars, like 'i' and 'l'. | false | | exclude | String, characters to be excluded from password. | '' | | strict | Boolean, password must include at least one character from each pool. | false |

*At least one should be true.
