Usage

Default Character Set Example

Base62 = require('fc-base62')
Base62.encode(999)  // 'g7'
Base62.decode('g7') // 999

Custom Character Set Example

The default character set is 0-9a-zA-Z. This can be updated to a custom character set. Naturally, it must be 62 characters long.

Instead of the character set 0-9a-zA-Z you want to use 0-9A-Za-z, call the setCharacterSet() method on the Base62 object passing in the string "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". Note that all characters must be unique.

Base62 = require('base62')
Base62.setCharacterSet("0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");
Base62.encode(999)  // 'G7'
Base62.decode('G7') // 999
