Tiniest of tiny `base64` uid generators.  Teeny-tiny browser version included, only 757 bytes.

## API

```haskell

tinygen :: Number -> String

```

#### Parameters

- Number `len` 


  Desired length of `id`. Defaults to `16`.

#### Returns

- String `id` 


  A `base64` random uid.

```js

const tinygen = require('tinygen')

tinygen()   // => "K4UP_gkFtzHMt5TN"

tinygen(32) // => "4Z65y6VjtIaid-PpG6eSnzJ5P7lZwoNI"

```

## CLI

```sh

$ npm i -g tinygen

$ tinygen

Wsk6V84y9C0xI1Us

$ tinygen 32

```

## Maintenance

To publish a new version:

```

yarn version

npm publish --access public

```

You will be prompted for a new version number, the package will be rebuilt, and the tag pushed to `git` before publishing to `npm`.  The second step is required until [#1694](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/1694) is resolved.
