| 1 | +# Crypto Random String |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +[](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/brijeshshah13/crypto-random-string) |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +You can use this library to generate a cryptographically strong random string which can be useful for creating an |
| 6 | +identifier, slug, salt, PIN code, fixture, etc. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## Installation |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +```shell |
| 11 | +go get -u github.com/brijeshshah13/crypto-random-string |
| 12 | +``` |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Usage |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### Using only `length` |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +```golang |
| 19 | +package main |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +import ( |
| 22 | + "fmt" |
| 23 | + cryptorandomstring "github.com/brijeshshah13/crypto-random-string" |
| 24 | +) |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +func main() { |
| 27 | + generator := cryptorandomstring.New() |
| 28 | + if str, err := generator.WithLength(10).Generate(); err != nil { |
| 29 | + panic(err) |
| 30 | + } else { |
| 31 | + fmt.Println(str) // => "c152f80d02" |
| 32 | + } |
| 33 | +} |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +### Using `kind: "base64"` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```golang |

| 84 | +) |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +func main() { |
| 87 | + generator := cryptorandomstring.New() |
| 88 | + if str, err := generator.WithLength(10).WithKind("numeric").Generate(); err != nil { |

| 124 | +) |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +func main() { |
| 127 | + generator := cryptorandomstring.New() |
| 128 | + if str, err := generator.WithLength(10).WithKind("ascii-printable").Generate(); err != nil { |

| 171 | + fmt.Println(str) // => "abbbccbaab" |
| 172 | + } |
| 173 | +} |
| 174 | +``` |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +### Default Scraper (Ad hoc) |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +In simple cases, you can use the default scraper without creating an object instance |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +```golang |
| 181 | +package main |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +import ( |
| 184 | + "fmt" |
| 185 | + cryptorandomstring "github.com/brijeshshah13/crypto-random-string" |
| 186 | +) |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +func main() { |
| 189 | + if str, err := cryptorandomstring.WithLength(10).WithCharacters("abc").Generate(); err != nil { |
| 190 | + panic(err) |
| 191 | + } else { |
| 192 | + fmt.Println(str) |
| 193 | + } |
| 194 | +} |
| 195 | +``` |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +## API Options |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +### `length` with `WithLength` |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +*Required*\ |
| 202 | +Type: `uint64` |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +### `kind` with `WithKind` |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +Type: `string`\ |
| 207 | +Default: `'hex'`\ |
| 208 | +Values: `'hex' | 'base64' | 'url-safe' | 'numeric' | 'distinguishable' | 'ascii-printable' | 'alphanumeric'` |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +Use only characters from a predefined set of allowed characters. |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +Cannot be set at the same time as the `characters` option. |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +The `distinguishable` set contains only uppercase characters that are not easily confused: `CDEHKMPRTUWXY012458`. It can |
| 215 | +be useful if you need to print out a short string that you'd like users to read and type back in with minimal errors. |
| 216 | +For example, reading a code off of a screen that needs to be typed into a phone to connect two devices. |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +The `ascii-printable` set contains |
| 219 | +all [printable ASCII characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters): ``!"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~`` |
| 220 | +Useful for generating passwords where all possible ASCII characters should be used. |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | +The `alphanumeric` set contains uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and |
| 223 | +digits: `ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789`. Useful for |
| 224 | +generating [nonce](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLOrForeignElement/nonce) values. |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +### `characters` with `WithCharacters` |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +Type: `string`\ |
| 229 | +Minimum length: `1`\ |
| 230 | +Maximum length: `65536` |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +Use only characters from a custom set of allowed characters. |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +Cannot be set at the same time as the `type` option. |
