String.random(options = { ... }) (ext/string/random)

Returns generated random string, contained only of ascii cars a-z and 0-1. By default returns string of length 10.

const random = require("ext/string/random");

random(); // "upcfns0i4t"
random({ length: 3 }); // "5tw"

Supported options:

isUnique: false

Ensures generated string is unique among ones already returned.

Note: When not applying this setting, accidental generation of same string is still highly unlikely. Provided option is just to provide a mean to eliminate possibility of an edge case of duplicate string being returned

length: 10

Desired length of result string

charset: null

Fixed list of possible characters

random({ charset: "abc" }); // "bacbccbbac"
