Voucher Code Generator

Generate unique, random, and hard to guess coupon / voucher codes. Use cases: promo codes, loyalty coupons, gift vouchers, in-app purchases, referral links

Instalation

Just use go get.

    go get github.com/AmirSoleimani/VoucherCodeGenerator/vcgen

Sample

func main() {

	// lolipop :P
	wg := sync.WaitGroup{}
	wg.Add(3)

	// normal
	go func(wg *sync.WaitGroup) {
		vc := vcgen.New(&vcgen.Generator{Count: 10, Pattern: "###-###-###", Charset: "123456789"})
		result, err := vc.Run()
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Println(err)
		}
		fmt.Println(result)
		wg.Done()
	}(&wg)

	// with prefix
	go func(wg *sync.WaitGroup) {
		vcPrefix := vcgen.New(&vcgen.Generator{Count: 10, Pattern: "######", Prefix: "WELC-"})
		result, err := vcPrefix.Run()
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Println(err)
		}
		fmt.Println(result)
		wg.Done()
	}(&wg)

	// with prefix + postfix
	go func(wg *sync.WaitGroup) {
		vcPrePostfix := vcgen.New(&vcgen.Generator{Count: 10, Pattern: "######", Prefix: "WELC-", Postfix: "-B"})
		result, err := vcPrePostfix.Run()
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Println(err)
		}
		fmt.Println(result)
		wg.Done()
	}(&wg)

	wg.Wait()

}

Prefix and Postfix

You can optionally surround each generated code with a prefix and/or postfix.

Pattern

Codes may follow a specified pattern. Use hash (#) as a placeholder for random characters.

Infeasible configs

There exist some configs that are not feasible. For example it's not possible to generate 1000 codes if you want your codes to be 2 characters long and consisting only of numbers. Voucher code generator detects such cases and throws an error "Not possible to generate requested number of codes.".

Config reference

attribute	default value	description
length	6	Number of characters in a generated code (excluding prefix and postfix)
count	1	Number of codes generated.
charset	alphanumeric	Characters that can appear in the code.
prefix	""	A text appended before the code.
postfix	""	A text appended after the code.
pattern	"######"	A pattern for codes where hashes (#) will be replaced with random characters.
