How do I create a random string in typescript consisting of the alphabet [a-z0-9]? It should always consist of 32 digits. And also there should be no redundant strings.

You probably want to make a guid. See the answer by Fenton: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26501688/a-typescript-guid-class – Tyler S. Loeper Jan 07 '19 at 15:15

Try this:
makeString(): string {
let outString: string = '';
let inOptions: string = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
for (let i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
outString += inOptions.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * inOptions.length));
}
return outString;
}
result: string = this.makeString();

This works for only one time. How do I make it work, so that I can click on a button, that always generates random strings? – Michael Jan 08 '19 at 09:04

Add click event to your button and call the makeString() function. I don't know for what you need this function, but now it's uneccessary to return a value... Assign the result to some variable or just console.log it to see if this works for you... – Srdjan Jan 08 '19 at 10:12
