Javascript : Generate random key with specific length
Was looking for a way to generate random string with Javascript today and also wanted to limit the random string length.
This code fragment below should do the job.
// define the characters to pick from
var chars ="0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXTZabcdefghiklmnopqrstuvwxyz*&-%/!?*+=()";
// note if you are looking for random integer, use this instead
// var chars ="0123456789";
// specify the length with keyLength parameter
var generateKey = function generateKey(keyLength){
var randomStr = '';
for (var i=0; i < keyLength; i++) {
var rnum = Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length);
randomStr += chars.substring(rnum,rnum+1);
}
return randomStr;
};
Give this javascript a try when you want to generate random string value.
