`generate-api-key` is a library for generating random API (Application Programming Interface)
keys or access tokens. By using this library, a Node.js backend service can generate API keys
or access tokens, then issue them to users and/or other services that require access to the
capabilities and resources provided by the API service.

## Security
When generating and storing API keys and access tokens please be mindful of secure
database storage best practices. The reason API keys or access tokens are stored is to
confirm the key/token that is provided (ex. HTTP request) is valid and issued by your
organization or application (the same as a password). Just like a password, an API key
or access token can provide direct access to data or services that require authentication.
To authenticate an API key or access token, it is not necessary to know the raw
key/token value, the key/token just needs to validated to be correct. API keys and
access tokens should not be stored in plain text in your database, they should be
stored as a hashed value. Consider using database storage concepts such as salting
or peppering during the hashing process.
Lastly, if you suspect the API credentials for your organization or application have
been compromised, please revoke the keys and regenerate new keys.
