string-to-id

Turns an identifier string (0-9a-z_-) into a unique integer id. Upper-case characters are treated as lower-case.

This package hasn't been tested in production yet, it may currently have collision issues

Why?

This is meant to reduce the amount of bytes transferred for string id's during client-server communication.

Usage

import strtoid from "string-to-id";

strtoid("someId");
// => 2883

Possibility of string collisions
