simple-human-ids-js
Use JavaScript to generate human-readable ids from a lists of adjectives, nouns, and verbs.
Generate ids in the format of #-adjective-noun-verb-adverb
such as
- 24-silly-goose-ran-quickly
- 15-quick-cobra-sold-randomly
- 23-tricky-chicken-bought-downstairs
- 90-brave-ladybug-looked-jumped-everywhere
I frequently want human readable ids I can type without checking it multiple times. I should be able to yell these ids across the room and have people be able to enter it without confusion.
Currently the id space is about 200,000,000 ids (100 * 100 * 75 * 18 * 15).
The goal is to increase the word space to at least 1 billion while preserving the philosophy that the id would be human readable and simple to spell.
For a larger address space now, consider:
- Human Readable IDs for Node.js and Browser: https://github.com/linus/greg/
- Human Readable IDs for Java: https://github.com/PerWiklander/IdentifierSentence
- Human Readable IDs for Python: https://gist.github.com/4447660
All of these also have the benefit of bi-directional conversion, but not all of them have words which are easy to pronounce and spell.
Usage
NPM
# from npm npm install --save simple-human-ids
const id = ; // generate 100 random idsfor let i = 0; i < 100; i++ console;
You are also able to configure your own lists to use
const id = ; const numbers = 3 5 9 ... ;const adjectives = 'soft' 'hard' 'wet' ... ;const nouns = 'goose' 'chicken' 'ship' ... ; const lists = id;id; for let i = 0; i < 100; i++ console;
