create a password with symbols in typescript

Here's an example function in Typescript to generate a random password using symbols:

index.ts
function generatePassword(length: number): string {
  const charPool = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>/?";
  let password = "";
  for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    const randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * charPool.length);
    password += charPool[randomIndex];
  }
  return password;
}
355 chars
10 lines

This function takes in a parameter length that specifies how many characters long the password should be. It then generates a charPool string containing all the possible characters that can be included in the password, including symbols like ! and @.

The function then loops length number of times, randomly selecting a character from charPool at each iteration and concatenating it onto the password string.

Finally, the function returns the fully generated password as a string.

This is just one example of how a password generator function can be implemented in Typescript or Javascript. It's worth noting that ensuring strong password security is a complex topic, and there are many other measures that should be taken to ensure passwords are secure beyond simply generating them with symbols.
