README
cuid
Collision-resistant ids optimized for horizontal scaling and sequential lookup performance, written in Elixir.
For full rationale behind CUIDs refer to the main project site.
Usage
Add Cuid as a dependency in your mix.exs
file:
defp deps do:
[{:cuid, "~> 0.1.0"}]
end
Run mix deps.get
to fetch and compile Cuid. It works as a process
{:ok, pid} = Cuid.start_link
Cuid.generate(pid) # => ch72gsb320000udocl363eofy
Each CUID is made by the following groups: c - h72gsb32 - 0000 - udoc - l363eofy
c
identifies this as a cuid, and allows you to use it in html entity ids. The fixed value helps keep the ids sequential.h72gsb32
is a timestamp0000
is a counterudoc
is a fingerprint. The first two characters are based on the process ID and the next two are based on the hostname. This is the same method used in the Node implementationl363eofy
