Mobile number has become the defacto user authentication mechanism in India and hence, OTP generation is a very common phenomena. This is a small utility lib to generate OTP.
const { otpGen } = require('otp-gen-agent');
const otp = await otpGen(); // '344156' (OTP length is 6 digit by default)- Default OTP lenght is 6
- Default characters used to generate OTP is 0123456789
const { customOtpGen } = require('otp-gen-agent');
const otp = await customOtpGen({length: 4, chars: 'abc123'}); // 'a3c1'Arguments:
- options: optional
- length: custom otp length
- chars: custom characters
You can customise the OTP length and also the characters to be used for OTP generation.
- Default OTP lenght is 6.
- Default characters used to generate OTP is 0123456789
const { bulkOtpGen } = require('otp-gen-agent');
const otp = await bulkOtpGen(2); // Array of otps: ['344156', '512398']const { bulkOtpGen } = require('otp-gen-agent');
const otp = await bulkOtpGen(2, {length = 5, chars: 'abcd123'} ); // Array of otps: ['312b3', 'bcddd']Arguments:
- num: number of OTPs to be generated in bulk
- opts: optional argument
