Generate Random String/Characters in JavaScript

Generate random string/characters in JavaScript

I think this will work for you:

function makeid(length) {
    var result           = '';
    var characters       = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
    var charactersLength = characters.length;
    for ( var i = 0; i < length; i++ ) {
      result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * 
 charactersLength));
   }
   return result;
}

console.log(makeid(5));

Random alpha-numeric string in JavaScript?

If you only want to allow specific characters, you could also do it like this:

function randomString(length, chars) {
    var result = '';
    for (var i = length; i > 0; --i) result += chars[Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length)];
    return result;
}
var rString = randomString(32, '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ');

Here's a jsfiddle to demonstrate: http://jsfiddle.net/wSQBx/

Another way to do it could be to use a special string that tells the function what types of characters to use. You could do that like this:

function randomString(length, chars) {
    var mask = '';
    if (chars.indexOf('a') > -1) mask += 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
    if (chars.indexOf('A') > -1) mask += 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
    if (chars.indexOf('#') > -1) mask += '0123456789';
    if (chars.indexOf('!') > -1) mask += '~`!@#$%^&*()_+-={}[]:";\'<>?,./|\\';
    var result = '';
    for (var i = length; i > 0; --i) result += mask[Math.floor(Math.random() * mask.length)];
    return result;
}

console.log(randomString(16, 'aA'));
console.log(randomString(32, '#aA'));
console.log(randomString(64, '#A!'));

Alternatively, to use the base36 method as described below you could do something like this:

function randomString(length) {
    return Math.round((Math.pow(36, length + 1) - Math.random() * Math.pow(36, length))).toString(36).slice(1);
}

Random string generator without repeating a combination

Just save the results in a Set and make sure that what you return at the end isn't in the Set already.

const characters ='qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm0987654321';

function generateString(length) {
    let result = ' ';
    const charactersLength = characters.length;
    for ( let i = 0; i < length; i++ ) {
        result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charactersLength));
    }

    return result;
}
const set = new Set();
const generateUniqueString = (len) => {
  let str;
  do {
    str = generateString(len);
  } while (set.has(str));
  set.add(str);
  return str;
};

function captura(){
    for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
        document.write(i+1 + ".- " + generateUniqueString(2) + '<br>');
    }

}
captura();
