Advanced tools
Readme
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');

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