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++;

生成10个字符长的字符串。长度由参数设置（默认值为10）。

function random_string_generator(len) {
var len = len || 10;
var str = '';
var i = 0;

for(i=0; i<len; i++) {
    switch(Math.floor(Math.random()*3+1)) {
        case 1: // digit
            str += (Math.floor(Math.random()*9)).toString();
        break;

        case 2: // small letter
            str += String.fromCharCode(Math.floor(Math.random()*26) + 97); //'a'.charCodeAt(0));
        break;

        case 3: // big letter
            str += String.fromCharCode(Math.floor(Math.random()*26) + 65); //'A'.charCodeAt(0));
        break;

        default:
        break;
    }
}
return str;
}

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)
}

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('')

这个小巧的小把戏怎么样？

var possible = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
var stringLength = 5;

function pickRandom() {
    return possible[Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length)];
}

var randomString = Array.apply(null, Array(stringLength)).map(pickRandom).join('');

您需要Array.apply来将空数组变为未定义的数组。

如果您正在为ES2015进行编码，那么构建阵列会简单一些：

var randomString = Array.from({ length: stringLength }, pickRandom).join('');

这是Coffeescapet版本的一行代码

genRandomString = (length,set) -> [0...length].map( -> set.charAt Math.floor(Math.random() * set.length)).join('')

用法：

genRandomString 5, 'ABCDEFTGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

输出：

'FHOOV' # random string of length 5 in possible set A~Z
