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);

Built-In Encodings

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
