@digitalmaas/uuid-base62

A Base62 UUID Encoder and Decoder.

Overview

This library makes it easy to translate UUIDs to and from base62 format. The default behaviour also ensures the Base62 UUID will be 22 characters long.

Instalation

npm i --save @digitalmaas/uuid-base62

Usage

const uuidBase62 = require('@digitalmaas/uuid-base62')

const b62uuid = '2qY9COoAhfMrsH7mCyh86T'
uuidBase62.decode(b62uuid)
// 9af099b2-6244-4fc1-b72b-1d69a24481b7

uuidBase62.encode('8fc60e7c-3b3c-48e9-a6a7-a5fe4f1fbc31')
// 2fNwVYePN8WqqDFvVf7XMN

That's it. It also supports custom alphabets; e.g base64:

const base64urlsafe = uuidBase62.baseX('0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-_')
const uuidBase62.encode('72be7291-fbf6-400f-87c4-455e23d01cd5', { base })
// 1OLDah-_p03Uv4hlUzQ1Pl
