scuid
Collision-resistant IDs optimized for horizontal scaling and performance.
A slim, alternative, and compatible implementation of cuid for node, also featuring a wide range of options, as well as custom random number generator support. It can serve as a drop-in replacement, and is also faster than cuid.
npm
Install via$ npm install --save scuid
Usage
var scuid =
Generate an ID
var id = > 'ciux3hs0x0000io10cusdm8r2'
Generate a slug
var slug = scuid> '6x1i0r0'
Get the process' fingerprint
var fingerprint = scuid> 'io10'
Use a custom (P)RNG
// Create a random number generator;// It has to have a method called `random`var generator = { return 5 // chosen by fair dice roll } // Create a custom scuid instancevar scuid =
Use other custom options
Note that fiddeling with these might make your IDs incompatible with cuid's guarantees.
var scuid =
Tests
Just like cuid
, collision resistance for both – slugs and IDs – is tested
over 1 million and 2 million iterations respectively.
To run the tests, run:
$ npm test
Benchmarks
$ npm run benchmark
