The IDEAFast ID Generation tool
Usage
Node.js
In a modern ES6 compatible setup you can simply import the @ideafast/idgen package (available from both NPM and GitHub).
$ yarn add @ideafast/idgenimport IDEAFastID from '@ideafast/idgen';
// Generate an ID
const id = IDEAFastID.generate();
// Validate an ID
if (IDEAFastID.validate(id))
console.log(id);Browser
To use the library directly within an HTML document you can reference or download it from a CDN such as unpkg.com
<html>
...
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@ideafast/idgen@latest/dist/lib.umd.js"></script>
<script>
// Generate an ID
const id = IDEAFastID.generate();
// Validate an ID
if (IDEAFastID.validate(id))
document.body.innerText = id;
</script>
...
</html>Local development
Requirements
First things first, there's always something before you can start.
To make our life easier, we use Yarn a lot. Make sure you have it installed.
Build the library
Building the library is easy. First run yarn install && yarn run build, to build the application. Artifacts will be rendered in the /dist folder as the root of your clone.
