This module generates random ids that can be safely used as DOM element ids.
npm install @jimkang/randomid
For use as command line util: npm install -g @jimkang/randomid
As module:
var RandomId = require('@jimkang/randomid'); var randomId = RandomId(); var id = randomId(10);
If you want to use your own random function (for example, one that uses a specific seed for reproducible results), you can provide it in the constructor:
var RandomId = require('@jimkang/randomid');
var seedrandom = require('seedrandom');
var randomId = RandomId({ random: seedrandom('test') });
If you don't provide a random option, it will just use Math.random for the random function.
As command line util:
randomid 5
(Then, it will produce a five-character id.)
Run tests with make test.
