Simple Checksum Code Generator
Generate and verify simple codes such as QZYZTHG.
It should go without saying that is easily crackable
and should not be used for secure applications. The
last character of the code is a checksum function of
the first characters. The idea is that if any of
these characters are typoed, it can quickly be
detected by the code verifier.
Installation
npm install @iwantpizza/simple-checksum-code-generator --saveUsage
The available configuration options are as follows:
| Key | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| alphabet | 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' | The possible characters that a generated code can contain. |
| length | 8 | The length of generated codes. |
| salt | 12 | A salt for the checksum function. Note that for an alphabet of length 26, the salt 12 would have the same effect as the salt of 12 + (26*n) where n is any positive integer. |
To change any of the available options, set them on the codeOptions object, for example:
import {CodeGenerator, CodeOptions, CodeVerifier} from '@iwantpizza/simple-checksum-code-generator/lib';
const codeOptions = new CodeOptions();
codeOptions.alphabet = 'ABCD';
const codeVerifier = new CodeVerifier(codeOptions);Typescript
import {CodeGenerator, CodeOptions, CodeVerifier} from '@iwantpizza/simple-checksum-code-generator/lib';
const codeOptions = new CodeOptions();
const codeVerifier = new CodeVerifier(codeOptions);
const codeGenerator = new CodeGenerator(codeOptions);
// generate a code
codeGenerator.generate();
// check a code
codeVerifier.verify('ABC123');Javascript
const simpleChecksumCodeGenerator = require("@iwantpizza/simple-checksum-code-generator/lib");
const codeOptions = new simpleChecksumCodeGenerator.CodeOptions();
const codeGenerator = new simpleChecksumCodeGenerator.CodeGenerator(codeOptions);
const codeVerifier = new simpleChecksumCodeGenerator.CodeVerifier(codeOptions);
// generate a code
codeGenerator.generate();
// check a code
codeVerifier.verify('ABC123');
