The Base58 Random ID Generator is a powerful Node.js package that enables developers to effortlessly generate unique and secure identifiers in the Base58 format. By leveraging the simplicity and efficiency of Base58 encoding, this package provides a reliable method for generating random IDs that are ideal for various use cases, including database keys, short URLs, cryptographic nonces, and more.
With this package, you can quickly generate IDs that are resistant to human error and ensure compatibility across different systems. Base58 encoding eliminates ambiguous characters, such as 0 (zero), O (uppercase o), I (uppercase i), and l (lowercase L), which can cause confusion in certain contexts. This ensures that the generated IDs are easier to read, write, and communicate accurately.
The Base58 Random ID Generator offers flexibility and customizability, allowing you to specify the desired length of the generated IDs. Additionally, it provides a cryptographically secure source of randomness, ensuring that the generated IDs are highly unpredictable and resistant to brute-force attacks.
Generate unique identifiers in Base58 format Suitable for diverse use cases Ensures compatibility and readability Customizable ID length Utilizes secure source of randomness Simple integration into Node.js applications Simplify ID generation in your Node.js applications with the Base58 ID Generator. Create unique and secure IDs effortlessly while ensuring compatibility and readability.

newId(4) // very short id, you can only have 4 billion of them so use it for small lists (less than 100k items is enough to not worry about checking for already used)
newId(8) // short id, consider it as public id
newId(16) // use it for main id cannot be randomly accessed
newId(32) // you can use it to generate secrets, keys and password
