对于包含大小写字母和数字（0-9a-zA-Z）的字符串，这可能是缩小效果最好的版本：

function makeId(length) {
  var id = '';
  var rdm62;
  while (length--) {
   // Generate random integer between 0 and 61, 0|x works for Math.floor(x) in this case 
   rdm62 = 0 | Math.random() * 62; 
   // Map to ascii codes: 0-9 to 48-57 (0-9), 10-35 to 65-90 (A-Z), 36-61 to 97-122 (a-z)
   id += String.fromCharCode(rdm62 + (rdm62 < 10 ? 48 : rdm62 < 36 ? 55 : 61)) 
  }
  return id;
}

此函数的内容缩小到97个字节，而顶部答案需要149个字节（因为字符列表）。

这是我用过的。这是一对夫妇的组合。我在循环中使用它，它生成的每个ID都是唯一的。它可能不是5个字符，但它保证是唯一的。

var newId =
    "randomid_" +
    (Math.random() / +new Date()).toString(36).replace(/[^a-z]+/g, '');

function generate(length) {
  var letters = ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z","0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"];
  var IDtext = "";
  var i = 0;
  while (i < length) {
    var letterIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * letters.length);
    var letter = letters[letterIndex];
    IDtext = IDtext + letter;
    i++;
  }
  console.log(IDtext)
}

如果可以使用库，Chance.js可能会有所帮助：http://chancejs.com/#string

在下面的代码中，我正在生成8个字符的随机代码

function RandomUnique(){
                    var charBank = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ012346789";
                    var random= '';
                    var howmanycharacters = 8;
                    for (var i = 0; i < howmanycharacters ; i++) {
                        random+= charBank[parseInt(Math.random() * charBank.lenght)];
                    }
                    return random;
                }
        var random = RandomUnique();
        console.log(random);

这里有一些简单的一行。更改新阵列（5）以设置长度。

包括0-9a-z

new Array(5).join().replace(/(.|$)/g, function(){return ((Math.random()*36)|0).toString(36);})

包括0-9a-zA-Z

new Array(5).join().replace(/(.|$)/g, function(){return ((Math.random()*36)|0).toString(36)[Math.random()<.5?"toString":"toUpperCase"]();});

ES6编码（0-9a-z）

Array(5).fill().map(n=>(Math.random()*36|0).toString(36)).join('')
