Functions

func New

func New() string

New returns a new random string.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/komuw/ong/id"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(id.New())
}

func Random

func Random(n int) string

Random generates a random string of size n.

If n < 1 or significantly large, it is set to reasonable bounds. It uses `crypto/rand` but falls back to `math/rand` on error.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/komuw/ong/id"
)

func main() {
	size := 34
	s := id.Random(size)
	if len(s) != size {
		panic("mismatched sizes")
	}
	fmt.Println(s)
}
