$ npm install generate-alphabetic-nameTake an arbitrary string or integer and generate a short alphabetic code. It works in the browser and node.js and is designed to be as small as possible, and extremely fast.
It uses the murmurhash algorithm, and borrows its implementation from the code for generating class names in styled-components
yarn add generate-alphabetic-name
import {readFileSync} from 'fs';
import generateAlphabeticName from './generateAlphabeticName';
console.log(generateAlphabeticName(readFileSync(__filename, 'utf8')));
console.log(generateAlphabeticName(42));
You can also just hash a string to a number:
import {readFileSync} from 'fs';
import {hash} from './generateAlphabeticName';
console.log(hash(readFileSync(__filename, 'utf8')));
If you prefer, you can directly reference generateAlphabeticNameFromNumber:
import {readFileSync} from 'fs';
import {hash, generateAlphabeticNameFromNumber} from './generateAlphabeticName';
console.log(
generateAlphabeticNameFromNumber(hash(readFileSync(__filename, 'utf8'))),
);
