假设您使用underscorejs，就可以在两行中优雅地生成随机字符串：

var possible = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
var random = _.sample(possible, 5).join('');

像这样扩展String对象怎么样。

String.prototype.random = function(length) {
   var result = '';
   for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
      result += this.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * this.length));
   }

   return result;
};

使用它：

console.log("ABCDEFG".random(5));

function randomString (strLength, charSet) {
    var result = [];
    
    strLength = strLength || 5;
    charSet = charSet || 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
    
    while (strLength--) { // (note, fixed typo)
        result.push(charSet.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charSet.length)));
    }
    
    return result.join('');
}

这是最干净的了。它也很快，http://jsperf.com/ay-random-string.

这是肯定的

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function randomString() {
 var chars = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXTZabcdefghiklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
 var string_length = 8;
 var randomstring = '';
 for (var i=0; i<string_length; i++) {
  var rnum = Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length);
  randomstring += chars.substring(rnum,rnum+1);
 }
 document.randform.randomfield.value = randomstring;
}
</script>

同样基于doubletap的答案，该方法处理任意长度的随机所需字符（仅限小写），并不断生成随机数，直到收集到足够的字符。

function randomChars(len) {
    var chars = '';

    while (chars.length < len) {
        chars += Math.random().toString(36).substring(2);
    }

    // Remove unnecessary additional characters.
    return chars.substring(0, len);
}

npm模块anyid提供了灵活的API来生成各种字符串ID/代码。

const id = anyid().encode('Aa0').length(5).random().id();
