hs-codegen

Codegen

Codegen is a small library that will allow you to generate human readable codes for your voucher codes, keys, etc.

Installation

NPM

npm install hs-codegen

Meteor

Just add the package from atmosphere:

meteor add hirespace:codegen

Usage

The most common usage would be:

var code = new Codegen.Code();
 
console.log(code); // "48CML"

The amount of different codes you could generate is alphabetLength ^ codeLength. We use a default alphabet composed of 32 characters (0123456789ACDEFGHJKLMNPQRTUVWXYZ) that are not confusing to read (e.g. we removed B because it could be confused with an 8). Therefore, the maximum amount of different codes with a 5 characters code is 33554432. This is more than enough for most usages. If you need more, the code length can be customised.

Custom length

The library allows customising the character length of the generated code:

var code = new Codegen.Code(3);
 
console.log(code); // "DP5"

The default length is 10 characters. It is warrantied that the length will be the given character length.
