short64 v1.0.1

short64 : Shorter base64 encoding for integers

short64 facilitates encoding and decoding integers as shorter as possible strings.

Works on browsers and nodeJS.

Installation

Install from NPM

npm i short64

Usage - with ES6 modules

import short64 from "short64";

let inputInt = 123;
let short64string = short64.From(inputInt);
let decodedInt = short64.ToInt(short64string);

console.log({
  inputInt,
  short64string,
  decodedInt,
});

Output

{inputInt: 123, short64string: 'B7', decodedInt: 123}

Usage - with common JS

Access the default property of the module.

let short64 = require("short64").default;

let inputInt = 123;
let short64string = short64.From(inputInt);
let decodedInt = short64.ToInt(short64string);

console.log({
  inputInt,
  short64string,
  decodedInt,
});

Output

{inputInt: 123, short64string: 'B7', decodedInt: 123}

Usage - custom alphabet

import short64 from "short64";

short64.SetAlphabet(
  "A~CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$%^&efghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0987654321*#"
);

let inputInt = 123;
let short64string = short64.From(inputInt);
let decodedInt = short64.ToInt(short64string);

console.log({
  inputInt,
  short64string,
  decodedInt,
});

Output :

{inputInt: 123, short64string: '~3', decodedInt: 123}

Default alphabet is

SetAlphabet("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+-");

Base64 friendly alphabet is

SetAlphabet("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/");
