Usage

For detailed explanation on length and character formatting, see randomstring npm module. Functions include

generateID

Used to generate a randomized string of given length and character composition, ideal for id purposes. Built on the randomstring npm module, and uses a fully compatible argument with the addition of a "notFoundIn" object for random string uniqueness. The default length of string is 5, and charset is numeric. For any given length in use (default or set) this method will return a string with length+1 characters if the total number of properties or entries in notFoundIn object exceeds the total number of strings of the length.

var { generateID } =  require("quicktools");

var notFoundIn  = {
	id1: { ... },
	id2: { ... },
	...
}
var id  =  generateID({ notFoundIn });
// id will not be equal to 'id1' or 'id2'

notFound in object can also be an array of strings.

var notFoundIn  = ["id1", "id2", ...];
