uid-ts

URL and cookie safe UIDs written in Typescript

Create cryptographically secure UIDs safe for both cookie and URL usage. This is in contrast to modules such as rand-token and uid2 whose UIDs are actually skewed due to the use of % and unnecessarily truncate the UID. Use this if you could still use UIDs with - and _ in them.

Installation

$ npm install uid-ts

API

import { uid, uidSync } from 'uid-ts';

uid(byteLength)

Asynchronously create a UID with a specific byte length and return a Promise. You can also await the function.

const id = await uid(18);
  // do something with the string

uidSync(byteLength)

A synchronous version of above.

var string = uid.sync(18)
