Method: SecureRandom.base36

Defined in:
activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/securerandom.rb

.base36(n = 16) ⇒ Object

SecureRandom.base36 generates a random base36 string in lowercase.

The argument n specifies the length of the random string to be generated.

If n is not specified or is nil, 16 is assumed. It may be larger in the future. This method can be used over base58 if a deterministic case key is necessary.

The result will contain alphanumeric characters in lowercase.

p SecureRandom.base36 # => "4kugl2pdqmscqtje"
p SecureRandom.base36(24) # => "77tmhrhjfvfdwodq8w7ev2m7"
