Nolookalikes character set without lowercase letters or without uppercase letters
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Dear Maintainers
I am working on a customer support system, which uses NanoID as case reference ID.
When communicating with a customer on telephone, it can be pretty frustrating on confirmation about letter case-sensitivity.
So I guess it might be a good idea to have a Nolookalikes without lowercase / uppercase letters character set.
If you guys agree this sounds good. I can start a pull request for adding this feature.
What do you think?
Hmm, probably might be a good idea just to export toLowercaseAlphabet, toUppercaseAlphabet and toSafeAlphabet functions that strip out unnecessary symbols. I'll give it more thought on how we should handle this because if we add a new alphabet it'd mean that we also should add noLookalikesSafeLowercase and noLookalikesSafeUppercase.
Yes, adding:
- noLookalikesSafeLowercase
- noLookalikesSafeUppercase
- nolookalikesLowercase
- nolookalikesUppercase
is exactly what I expect.
@CyberAP I agree with you that adding a few functions to strip out unnecessary symbols may be a better idea. Do you want me to initialize a new PR?
P.S.
In my project, I also use the charset "346789ABCDEFGHJKMNPQRTWXY" (no-look-alike, no mater it's lowercase letters or uppercase letters) to create case-insensitive IDs.
I am not sure if it is a good idea to be merged into this project?
