UUID Encoder

Convert UUIDs into Base32, Base36, or any other encoding of your choice.

Usage

const UuidEncoder = require('uuid-encoder');

// Create Base 36 encoder
const encoder = new UuidEncoder('base36');

// Encode an UUID
const encodedUuid = encoder.encode('38b9823d-fa1a-48e7-91fc-ee16ad091cf2');

// Decode an encoded UUID
const decodedUuid = encoder.decode(encodedUuid);

API

UuidEncoder([baseEncodingStr = 'base36'])

Instantiate a new encoder using the specified base encoder.

string encode(string uuid)

Returns a string containing the encoded version of the uuid.

string decode(string str)

Returns a string containing the decoded UUID from str.

Encoding

Built-In Encodings

Type	Charset	Description
'base2'	0-1	Binary encoding
'base10'	0-9	Decimal encoding
'base16'	0-9, a-f	Hexadecimal encoding
'base32'	Custom	Crockford's Base 32
'base36'	0-9, a-z	Base 36 (default)
'base58'	Custom	Bitcoin Base 58
'base62'	0-9, A-Z, a-z	Base 62
'base64'	0-9, A-Z, a-z, +, /	Base 64
'base64url'	0-9, A-Z, a-z, -, _	Base 64 URL encoding (RFC 4648)

Custom Encoding

To use a different set or count of encoding characters, simply pass a string containing every desired letter to the constructor.

All custom encoding sets are case sensitive.

const encoder = new UuidEncoder('02468ACEGI'); // weird base10
