Random String Generator

Open lkinsella opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

What's the Problem?

It would be nice to have a random string generator, currently I use this a lot:

http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/random-string-generator/

However integrating it into this tool would be great.

Solution/Idea

Under Generators new Random String section with Allowed Characters, Length and how many you want to generate. Maybe also option for casing.

Priorities

Capability Priority
Random String Generation Must
Length Must
Allowed Characters Must
Number of Strings Should
Character Casing Could

DevToys Version

If this were implemented in such a way as to be usable by other tools, it would be useful for populating fields for, eg, password salt as discussed at #179. Since we will generate random strings in other tools anyway, seems reasonable to make this a tool of its own.

See also https://passwordsgenerator.net/ for a nice online implementation. It has a "do NOT send across the Internet" Option, however an integration into DevToys would be nice.
