Generates strong UUIDs - like uuid module - but encodes to compress length with url-friendly 64-char alphabet

Package Exports

  • uuid-encoded

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (uuid-encoded) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Unique, strong (rfc4122), friendly, short UUIDs

Build Status

Synopsis

Uses the uuid module to produce an rfc4122 v4 compliant uuid and then encodes it using a 64-char alphabet (by default includes upper, lower letters, numbers, -, _) to encode the uuid in a shortened (22 characters - instead of 32 hex) but still url friendly string.

The module is just a few lines of code

var CHARS = '.PYFGCRLAOEUIDHTNSQJKXBMWVZ_pyfgcrlaoeuidhtnsqjkxbmwvz1234567890';
module.exports = function (chars) {
    var uuid = require('uuid');
    var d64 = require('d64')(chars||CHARS);
    return d64.encode(uuid.v4(null,new Array(16),0))
}

#Description Using this module:

> var uuid = require('uuid-encoded');
> console.log(uuid());

> console.log(uuid());
'qOloinw5JJRBf-OPJIqrgx'
> console.log(uuid());
'wVeh8at4SB5UFnMQ69awQ-'
> // use an alphabet that uses . instead of -
> uuid('.PYFGCRLAOEUIDHTNSQJKXBMWVZ_pyfgcrlaoeuidhtnsqjkxbmwvz1234567890')
'D7a1L0.PSvQo_DIjccTKuc'
