# Germknödel
A passport code generator. Generates passport codes like this:
`26109Q5FB7D<<9203147X2205142<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<6`
I wrote the basic script as a terrible dev console snippet and then got almost lost in building a neat NodeJS command-line tool from it.
Currently, only German passport codes are supported.
**Contributions for other countries and document types are welcome!**
The package name was an unconscious play of words because I still own a German passport while living in Austria where [Germknödel](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Germkn%C3%B6del) are hugely popular. (And delicious, btw.)
Now the name got stuck. _Sorry._ 🤷🏻
