## Synopsis

This is a simple package to generate (pseudo) random strings of specified `length` separated into "blocks" of specified `blockLength`s by specified `separator` characters. This makes this package suitable for generating license or product or serial keys. 

The similar looking characters (and numbers) I, 1, 0 and O are always left out of the generated strings to avoid confusion.

Note that the generated keys are just random strings and there's no provision to check their validity cryptographically.

## Installation
From npm registry:

`npm i serial-key-generator`

OR

Directly from gist: 

`npm i -S gist:ed14ef9bcae9b9188833e583313b0d21`

## Usage Example

The package exposes a single function with signature `generate(length = 16, separator = '-', blockLength = 4)` which may be used as follows:

~~~ Javascript
const serial = require("generate-serial-key")

serial.generate() // Outputs 'AG8D-ZGYG-A8YV-PVMK'
serial.generate(20, "_", 5) // Outputs 'UL3MV_BTPXB_MBEU9_QK3MC'
~~~
