Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Base-62 UUID generator

Overview

uuid62 makes it easy to generate short base-62 (or any other base) UUIDs. ID generation is done by uuid which follows RFC4122. The encoded UUIDs are alphanumeric [0-9a-zA-Z] and always have a length of 22 chars.

uuid62 began as a fork of dmarcelino's uuid-base62. It provides updated dependencies and more features above that package. uuid62 is designed to be a drop-in replacement for uuid-base62, however, so migration should be trivial.

Installation

npm i uuid62

Usage

const uuid62 = require('uuid62');

const uuid = uuid62.v4();
// -> 2qY9COoAhfMrsH7mCyh86T

// decode a base-62 uuid
const originalUUID = uuid62.decode(uuid);
// -> 9af099b2-6244-4fc1-b72b-1d69a24481b7

// base-62 encode an existing traditional uuid
const encoded = uuid62.encode('8fc60e7c-3b3c-48e9-a6a7-a5fe4f1fbc31');
// -> 2fNwVYePN8WqqDFvVf7XMN

API

uuid62 is essentially a wrapper around uuid. All optional parameters specified in uuid's API can also be provided here. Note that any buffer that would be returned by uuid will be converted into a base-62 string representation by this library.

v1 (timestamp-based)

uuid62.v1()

Returns a string. See uuid for optional parameters to specify timestamp and node id.

v4 (random)

uuid62.v4()

Returns a string.

v5 (namespace)

uuid62.v5(<name>, <namespace>)

Returns a string. Requires:

  • name - a string or array
  • namespace - a string or buffer representing a uuid. String representation may be conventional or base-62. Two pre-defined namespaces are exposed at uuid62.DNS and uuid62.URL.

Examples:

let id = uuid62.v5('https://google.com', uuid62.URL);

id = uuid62.v5('google.com' uuid62.DNS);

const myNS = uuid62.v4();
id = uuid62.v5('foobar', myNS);

Encoding/decoding

uuid62.encode(<id>, <encoding>)

Returns a string representing a base-62 id. Takes:

  • id - a string or array representing a conventional uuid
  • encoding - an optional string specifying the encoding of the input id. Defaults to hex.

If the input id is of the incorrect length, the output will be padded with 0 on the left or trimmed from the left.

uuid62.decode(<id>, <encoding>)

Returns a string representing a conventional uuid, including dashes. Takes:

  • id - a string representing a base-62 uuid
  • encoding - an optional string specifying the encoding of the output id. Defaults to hex.

If the input id is of the incorrect length, it will be padded with 0 on the left or trimmed from the left before decoding.

Other bases

uuid62 can support other bases by assigning a new baseX charset to customBase:

uuid62.customBase = new uuid62.baseX("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-_");
const uuid = uuid62.v4();
