@telemok/unique-var-name v0.0.1

unique-var-name (beta version)

JS unique short var names generator without collisions

Features

• Shortest names.
• First symbol not digit. URL and name-friendly: No special characters.
• Not random names.
• (a-zA-Z_*) name format.
• Counter: "a", "b", ..., "z", "A", ..., "Z", "_", "a0", "a1", ..., "a_", "b0", ... "__", "a00", ...
• Can be used as variable names, class names, id, and other.
• Like a num.toString(radix), but radix increased from 36 to 63 and first symbol not digit.
• No dependencies. No network connection.
• Different counter for each key/prefix.
• Fast: 210-240M calls / second (Ryzen 5500U).

1. Show how to generate var names

import {nextUniqueVarName} from "@telemok/unique-var-name.js"

let m = new Set();
for (let i = 0; i < 7370; i++) {
	let s = nextUniqueVarName();
	console.log(i, s);
	if (m.has(s))
		throw(new Error(s))
	m.add(s);

for (let i = 0; i < 7370; i++) {
	let s = nextUniqueString("prefix_");
	let sA1 = nextUniqueString("_");
	let sA2 = nextUniqueString("_");
	console.log(i, s, sA1, sA2);
}
/* output:
0 prefix_0 _0 _1
1 prefix_1 _2 _3
2 prefix_2 _4 _5
...
29 prefix_t _W _X
30 prefix_u _Y _Z
31 prefix_v __ _10
