base-62.js

Getting started

Install it

$ npm install base-62.js

Require it

var base62 = require('base-62.js');

Use it to convert a number to a base 62 string

base62.encode('144928238032487217698238462873470924850921348902347582734698872031234');
//=> "17BHYOc7KWVceLGi6QvVTM1OELAxTLd1EwAtmQW"

Use it to come back

base62.decode('17BHYOc7KWVceLGi6QvVTM1OELAxTLd1EwAtmQW');
//=> "144928238032487217698238462873470924850921348902347582734698872031234"

Create a portable token from a MongoDB Object id (or any HEX string)

base62.encodeHex('556c9e573337620003000000');
//=> "ynKPk8OoB7EzcAus"
 
base62.decodeHex('ynKPk8OoB7EzcAus')
//=> "556c9e573337620003000000"

Create a random token (API Access or a random password)

base62.random()
//=> "jplADVZ4H8gYGRXGSbki8zBZsv5"
