Documentation

Overview

Package uid provides functions to generate simple time-and-random-based unique identifiers.

It provides functions to generate 64 and 128 bit random identifiers in base-36 string format.

This package's outputs might be easily predictable. For random IDs suitable for security-sensitive work, please the uidc package instead.

Functions

func NewID128

func NewID128() string

NewID128 generates and returns a new base-36-string-formatted 128 bit unique ID based on time (high 64 bit) and a random number (low 64 bit).

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/Vonage/gosrvlib/pkg/uid"
)

func main() {
	v := uid.NewID128()

	fmt.Println(v)
}

func NewID64

func NewID64() string

NewID64 generates and returns a new base-36-string-formatted 64 bit unique ID based on time (high 32 bit) and a random number (low 32 bit). NOTE: the zero time is set to the 1st of January of 10 years ago.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/Vonage/gosrvlib/pkg/uid"
)

func main() {
	v := uid.NewID64()

	fmt.Println(v)
}
