Custom Base-62 Encoder

This repository contains the version of my encoder/decoder for Base-62 in two languages:

• Golang;
• TypeScript.

Motivation

I needed an efficient way to apply a Base-62 encoding/decoding algorithm working the same way in TypeScript/Javascript and in Golang environments.

Usage

Both versions use the same following dictionary:

In other words, they use the following base: 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.

npm i base62-ts

import * as base62 from 'base62-ts'

const value = 18969

const encoded = base62.encode(value)

// 4VX
console.log(encoded)

const decoded = base62.decode(encoded)

console.assert(value === decoded)

Dependencies

base62-ts depends on my general utility library for computing euclidean division: ts-utls.

Besides, to run the tests, you would need to install live-server:

npm i -g live-server

NB: Tests run on port 10001, beware if another process runs on the same port as such a conflict may disable them.
