VoucherCodeGenerator
Possibly the most easy to use voucher code generator
VoucherCodeGenerator is a simple Typescript library for generating voucher codes with only needing a single string as pattern.
The library works with 3 kinds of CharSets:
- (N) numbers (0123456789)
- (L) letters (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz)
- (A) alphanumeric (0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ)
All non-alphanumeric characters in the given pattern parameter will not change when generating a code. All other characters will be replaced by a randomized character of the same CharSet.
Importing the generate method
import { generate } from 'voucher-codes-generator'
Now all you need to do is call the method with your desired pattern, for example:
const code: string = generate("000-AAA-000")
The code above generates a code in the format "NNN-LLL-NNN".
Other examples
Below are some patterns with their possible outputs
| Use case | Pattern | Possible output |
| -------- | ------- | -------------- |
| Serial numbers | A0AA-0A0A-A0AA-AAAA
| N9TT-9G0A-B7FQ-RANC
|
| Giftcard/Voucher codes | Aa0-aAa-0aA
| Ws2-bHd-9fJ
|
| Giftcard/Voucher codes | 000-AAA-000

|
| Letters and digits | 0aAaA0a000
| 4gRaG6w854
|

| azazer
|
| With multiple non-alpanumeric characters | 000-0#AAA$0_AA0
| 654-3#WTE$9_WA0
|
| With multiple non-alpanumeric characters | AA0-00A-#000
| WQ7-32H-#954
|
Notes
- Casing of letters is also checked.
- It does not matter what characters you use to make your pattern as the same CharSet will be used. (e.g
000-AAA-000
will be processed the same way as512-WQA-076
)
Limitations
- Every alphanumeric character will always use the same CharSet to randomize (outcomes like
N9TT-9G0A-B7FQ-RANC
andQK6A-JI6S-7ETR-0A6C
are not (yet) possible with the same given pattern)
