const decoded2 = base62.decode(encoded2); // ffffffff-ffff-4fff-bfff-ffffffffffffconst baseN = baseUuid([radix])
Creates an encoder/decoder using radix. The default radix is 64.
const str = baseN.encode(uuid)
Creates a shortened UUID string.
const uuid = baseN.decode(str)
Decodes a shortened UUID.
const uuid = baseN.decodePlain(str)
Like decode but produces UUID without dashes.
baseN.base
Radix of the shortener, integer between 16...64.
