Overview

Package base62 provides utilities for working with base62 strings. base62 strings will only contain characters: 0-9, a-z, A-Z

Functions

func Decode

func Decode(input string) []byte

Decode converts input from base62 to its byte representation If the decoding fails, an empty slice is returned.

func Encode

func Encode(buf []byte) string

Encode converts buf into a base62 string

Note: this should only be used for reducing a string's character set range. It is not for use with arbitrary data since leading 0 bytes will be dropped.

func Random

func Random(length int, truncate bool) (string, error)

Random generates a random base62-encoded string. If truncate is true, the result will be a string of the requested length. Otherwise, it will be the encoded result of length bytes of random data.
