Emojid

Generate IDs and UUIDs with emojis.

npm i @midnight-city/emojid

yarn add @midnight-city/emojid

Give your users a nice time looking at their funny URL at the cost of bloating your database with hell itself.

Some libraries shouldn't exist. This is one of them.

1import { emojid, uuid } from "@midnight-city/emojid";
2
3const id = emojid(6);
4//"😲🦈🌚🎮📀🚩"
5
6const uuid = uuid();
7// "🍹🔴🎧🦥-👀😂-🔪🔑-😛🧄🦈🍜🧻🌍🔴🎱"

API

You can also use the public API if you don't feel like installing yet another dependency:

Caveats and gotchas

It turns out the lenght of most emojis is 2, but some of them have a lenght of 1 and even length of 5. Check it out using this list

'⚡'.length == 1 '😄'.length == 2 '👩‍🦰'.length == 5 '👩‍👩‍👩‍👧‍👧'.length == 14
