java function to generate random string code example

Example: java 8 random string generator

@Test
public void givenUsingJava8_whenGeneratingRandomAlphanumericString_thenCorrect() {
    int leftLimit = 48; // numeral '0'
    int rightLimit = 122; // letter 'z'
    int targetStringLength = 10;
    Random random = new Random();
 
    String generatedString = random.ints(leftLimit, rightLimit + 1)
      .filter(i -> (i <= 57 || i >= 65) && (i <= 90 || i >= 97))
      .limit(targetStringLength)
      .collect(StringBuilder::new, StringBuilder::appendCodePoint, StringBuilder::append)
      .toString();
 
    System.out.println(generatedString);
}
