PassGen

The PassGen class utility designed to facilitate the generation of secure passwords and unique identifiers. It offers various methods for generating cryptographic hashes, secret keys, and unique IDs with customizable complexity levels.

Methods

• hash(key: string): string

  • Description: Generates a hash from the provided key combined with a timestamp. Returns a string in the specified base (LEVEL).
  • Parameters:
    • key: The input string to hash.
  • Returns: A padded hash string.

• generateSecret(length: number = 32): string

  • Description: Generates a random alphanumeric secret of the specified length.
  • Parameters:
    • length (optional): The length of the generated secret (default is 32).
  • Returns: A random secret string.

• generateID(): string

  • Description: Creates a unique identifier combining a hash, a UUID, and a random secret.
  • Returns: A string in the format hashValue-uuidValue-secretKey.

Usage Example

const myPass = new PassGen(16);
const genID = myPass.generateID();
const hashValue = myPass.hash('this is a secret key?');
const secretKey = myPass.generateSecret();

console.log({ genID, hashValue, secretKey, myPass });

{
  genID: '-7e9f954b-5794a534-9221-475a-842a-c7e8504fb509-Nprvndx',
  hashValue: '2361ad49',
  secretKey: 'zp9az7ljTw',
  myPass: PassGen { value: 8191, LEVEL: 16, timestamp: 1724038646122n }
