Readme
Basic uid generator for your stuff
Intended to be used in client side apps served on the web, kept bare minimum in code size for that reason.
Uses crypto.getRandomValues
when available, fallbacks to Math.random()
otherwise.
collision-free generation is not guranteed. Increase length for less collision probability.
Usage
Install
npm i tiny-uid
Use
import uid from 'tiny-uid';
console.log(uid()); // > 5oylanv
console.log(uid(12)); // > a6ps30ruclh0
API
uid([length = 7])
Returns randomly generated alpha-numeric string. Optionally you can specify custom length for returned string, defaults to 7
.
Note: At the moment, generated string is all lowercase, but is subject to change in future releases, should needs/use cases, require so.
