uids-generator

A lightweight, simple unique ID generator based on user input type:

• alphabet → alphabet-based ID
• number → numeric ID
• alphanumeric → alphanumeric ID

It works seamlessly in Node.js, Express, React, Vue, or browser environments.

Installation

npm install uids-generator --save
# or
yarn add uids-generator

# Node.js / Express (CommonJS)
const { generateUniqueId } = require("uids-generator");

# Generate alphabet ID
const alphabetId = generateUniqueId("alphabet", 10);
console.log(alphabetId);

# Example output: { id: 'AbCdEfGhIj', length: 10, type: 'alphabet' }

# Express example
const express = require("express");
const app = express();

app.get("/generate-id", (req, res) => {
const uid = generateUniqueId("alphanumeric", 12);
res.json(uid);
});

app.listen(5000, () => console.log("Server running on port 5000"));

generateUniqueId("alphabet", 10);
# { id: 'AbCdEfGhIj', length: 10, type: 'alphabet' }

generateUniqueId("number", 8);
# { id: '85017429', length: 8, type: 'number' }

generateUniqueId("alphanumeric", 16);
# { id: 'g8H1kP92Ms7Qx1Za', length: 16, type: 'alphanumeric' }
