baseN

baseN: Encode number(max is Math.pow(2,53)) to base(2~62) hash string and decode it back. Customization is also supported.

Install

$ npm install basen

Usage

see baseN.test.js for detail.

new BaseN()

Three ways to start with baseN

var baseN = new BaseN();//use default base array: letter(52) + numeric(10)
var baseN = new BaseN(15);//set radix 15, and use first 1~15 chars as base array
var baseN = new BaseN({
    base:[
        'a','b','c','d','e','0','1','2'
    ]
});//customize base array

encode()

convert number to hash string

var testCase = [
    [0, '0'],
    [1, '1'],
    [20, 'k'],
    [1000, 'g8'],
    [20130718, '1msV0']
];
var baseN = new BaseN();

testCase.forEach(function(item) {
    baseN.encode(item[0]);
});

decode()

convert hash string to the origin number

var testCase = [
    [0, '0'],
    [1, '1'],
    [20, 'k'],
    [1000, 'g8'],
    [20130718, '1msV0']
];
var baseN = new BaseN();

testCase.forEach(function(item) {
    baseN.decode(item[1]);
});

reBase()

change base array to a random base array

var baseN = new BaseN();
baseN.reBase(10);//select 10 chars from default base array as new base array
baseN.base.length == 10;//true

var testCase = [0, 1, 20, 1000, 1024, 123456789];
testCase.forEach(function(item) {
    baseN.decode(baseN.encode(item))==item;//true
});
