yarn add nhs-number-generator
pnpm add nhs-number-generator
bun i nhs-number-generator
# etc

Usage

Random generation

import { generateNhsNumber } from 'nhs-number-generator';

const generator = randomNhsNumberGenerator();

console.log(generator.next().value); // "9198754017"
console.log(generator.next().value); // "9826183628"
console.log(generator.next().value); // "9689628313"

Deterministic generation

If you want to generate the same sequence of numbers every time, you can use the deterministicNhsNumberGenerator function.

import { deterministicNhsNumberGenerator } from 'nhs-number-generator';

const generator = deterministicNhsNumberGenerator('seed');

const firstValue = generator.next().value;
const secondValue = generator.next().value;
const thirdValue = generator.next().value;
