access_token
Random Token Generator for Deno 🦕 and the Browser.
Example
import { accessToken } from "https://deno.land/x/access_token@VERSION/mod.ts";
// Create a new token
// accessToken.generate(prefix, secret?)
const token = accessToken.generate("mtt", "my_optional_secret");
// Validate a token
if (accessToken.validate(token, "my_optional_secret")) {
console.log("Token is valid: ", token);
}
// Remove token from string (e.g. on Code Scanning)
const stringToCheck =
"This is my token: xxx_1BpDK7DKPGCgc4EOmsq0mGIfw45XmS1ge36n.";
const stringWithoutToken = stringToCheck.replaceAll(
accessToken.regExp,
"SECRET_TOKEN",
);
console.log("After scanning:", stringWithoutToken);
Format
This token generator is inspired by GitHub new authentication token format. It is easy to recognize (by humans and machines) and allows us to validate it, without the need to hit a database.
