hexoid

A tiny (190B) and extremely fast utility to generate random IDs of fixed length

Hexadecimal object IDs. Available for Node.js and the browser.
Generate randomized output strings of fixed length using lowercased hexadecimal pairs.

Notice: Please note that this is not a cryptographically secure (CSPRNG) generator.

Additionally, this module is delivered as:

CommonJS: dist/index.js
ES Module: dist/index.mjs
UMD: dist/index.min.js

Install

$ npm install --save hexoid

Usage

import hexoid from 'hexoid';

const toID = hexoid();
// length = 16 (default)
toID(); //=> '52032fedb951da00'
toID(); //=> '52032fedb951da01'
toID(); //=> '52032fedb951da02'

// customize length
hexoid(25)(); //=> '065359875047c63a037200e00'
hexoid(32)(); //=> 'ca8e4aec7f139d94fcab9cab2eb89f00'
hexoid(48)(); //=> 'c19a4deb5cdeca68534930e67bd0a2f4ed45988724d8d200'

API

hexoid(length?)

Returns: () => string

Creates the function that will generate strings.

length

Type: Number
Default: 16

Then length of the output string.

Important: Your risk of collisions decreases with longer strings!
Please be aware of the Birthday Problem! You may need more combinations than you'd expect.

The maximum combinations are known given the following formula:

const combos = 256 ** (len/2);
