makeup-next-id

makeup-next-id

Assigns the next id in sequence to an element, if an id property does not already exist. The id will consist of a configurable prefix (default: 'nid'), followed by three randomly generated chars, then a number in sequence. For example: nid-sdv-1, nid-sdv-2, nid-sdv-3, etc. If you need a known id, ahead of time, please use a different approach!

A vanilla JavaScript port of jquery-next-id.
