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

🎉 passforge 🚀

Welcome to the passforge package! This tool generates secure, customizable passwords from a base string or randomly based on your preferences. Perfect for creating strong passwords with a splash of fun! 🎨🔐

✨ Features

  • Generate Passwords: From a given base string or randomly
  • Customizable Options: Include numbers and special characters
  • Easy to Use: Simple function with default values — just pass the necessary parameters and enjoy!

📦 Installation

First, make sure you have Node.js installed. Then, install the package via npm:

npm install passforge

🛠️ Usage

Here's how to use the generateSecureString function to create awesome passwords! 💪

1. Generate a Random Password

If you just want a random password, use the function with a specified length:

import { generateSecureString } from "passforge"; // for ES modules type setup
//                   (or)
const { generateSecureString } = require("passforge"); // for common Js

const randomPassword = generateSecureString();
console.log(`Random Password: ${randomPassword}`);

This will generate a random password with a default length of 10 characters. You can customize the length by passing a different number.

2. Generate a Password from a Base String

Transform a base string into a password with optional numbers and special characters:

import { generateSecureString } from "passforge";

const baseStringPassword = generateSecureString("exampleBaseString");
console.log(`Base String Password: ${baseStringPassword}`);

This will transform the provided base string and add a random two-digit number if the base string doesn’t contain digits.

3. Customize Your Password

Use the options to include numbers and special characters:

  • includeNumbers: true or false
  • includeSymbols: true or false

Example:

const customPassword = generateSecureString("", 16, {
  includeNumbers: true,
  includeSymbols: true,
});
console.log(`Custom Password: ${customPassword}`);

🔧 Options

  • input: Base string to transform (optional)
  • length: Length of the random password (default: 10)
  • options(object type):
    • includeNumbers: Whether to include numbers (default: false)
    • includeSymbols: Whether to include special characters (default: false)

🧩 Examples

Basic Random Password

generateSecureString(); // Returns a random password with default settings

Password from Base String

generateSecureString("hello"); // Transforms 'hello' into a secure password

Custom Length and Options

generateSecureString("", 12, { includeNumbers: true, includeSymbols: true });
generateSecureString("", 12, { includeNumbers: false, includeSymbols: true });
generateSecureString("", 12, { includeNumbers: true, includeSymbols: false });
