Function gen_code 

pub fn gen_code(
    name: String,
    id: String,
    offset: Option<u32>,
    prefix: Option<String>,
    length: Option<usize>,
) -> (String, String)

Generate a cryptographic code for use in API calls.

Currently used by:

• crate::tmf632::individual_v4::Individual
• crate::tmf632::organization_v4::Organization
• crate::tmf629::customer::Customer
• crate::tmf674::geographic_site_v4::GeographicSite

Returns

Returns tuple of the generated code and the Base32 Hash used to form the code.

Algorithm

This function takes the supplied inputs (name, id , offset) and generates a cryptographic hash which is then output as a Base32 hash. Each Base32 digit represents 5 bits of binary data, so 6 digits provides 30 bits of data or around 1 Billion possible codes.

Example

use tmflib::gen_code;
let (code,hash) = gen_code("John Q. Smith".to_string(),"USER123".to_string(),None,Some("U-".to_string()),None);
assert_eq!(code,"U-SP7E6E".to_string());
