What's the best way to generate a base64 token with Arb?

[sam]

You just want a random base 64 string ?

[dave08]

Yeah, with a certain range of lengths

[dave08]

I don't see a base64 codepoint, which I would assume to be what I need?

[sam]

Yes was just typing that

[sam]

you need a base 64 codepoint arb (please contribute?) and then feed that into the string arb

[sam]

Arb.string(0, 128, Arb.base64())

[dave08]

I guess the naive implementation would be:

fun Arb.Companion.base64(): Arb<Codepoint> =
    Arb.element((('a'..'z') + ('A'..'Z') + ('0'..'9') + '+' + '/').toList()).map { Codepoint(it.code) }

[dave08]

But that ignores the = padding...

[dave08]

It doesn't really matter in my case for now... but a real implementation wouldn't just be codepoints.

[sam]

yeah it would be codepoints + padding

[sam]

still feel free to contribute one 🙂

If I have a chance to make a more complete Arb for this, I surely will!
