@jwooky/base62-uuid

base62-uuid generates short URL safe identifiers that can be used for encoding / decoding standard UUID strings.

Getting Started

npm install @jwooky/base62-uuid

Example Usage:

import Base62UUID from '@jwooky/base62-uuid';
// or for CommonJS
const Base62UUID = require('@jwooky/base62-uuid')

const base62 = new Base62UUID()

// Generate a random Base62 string
const randB62 = base62.v4()
console.log(randB62)

// Generate a random UUID string
const randUUID = base62.uuid()
console.log(randUUID)

// Encode existing UUID to Base62 string
const uuid = base62.uuid()
const randUUID = base62.encode(uuid)
console.log(randUUID)

// Decode Base62 value to UUID string
const b62Str = base62.v4()
const randUUID = base62.decode(b62str)
console.log(randUUID)

Running Tests

npm test

• Generating random Base62 strings
• Generating UUID with specific version
• Encoding UUID to a Base62 string
• Decoding Base62 string back to UUID
