random-encoder

Lightweight way to generate multiple, random, reversible "hashes" or encoding

random-encoder can reversibly convert an integer into many pseudo-random hashes/shortcodes/encodings.

Install

npm install --save random-encoder

Usage

import randomEncoder from "random-encoder";

randomEncoder.generate(100); // -> "txwkbqm"
randomEncoder.generate(100); // -> "nbmkbai"
randomEncoder.generate(100); // -> "rxuclio"
randomEncoder.generate(100); // -> "trsudww"
randomEncoder.generate(100); // -> "dzkcrsk"

randomEncoder.solve("txwkbqm"); // -> 100
randomEncoder.solve("nbmkbai"); // -> 100
randomEncoder.solve("rxuclio"); // -> 100
randomEncoder.solve("trsudww"); // -> 100
randomEncoder.solve("dzkcrsk"); // -> 100

This can come useful when you want to have multiple apparently-random URLs point to the same object.
