ulid for Scala
Strongly recommend using airframe-ulid instead.
ULID (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier) generator and parser for Scala.
Refer ulid/spec.
Getting Started
libraryDependencies += "net.petitviolet" %% "ulid4s" % "<version>"
Example
scala> import net.petitviolet.ulid4s.ULID
import net.petitviolet.ulid4s.ULID
scala> ULID.generate
res0: String = 01CZX6XV0FQHFK33XA7X4QG4NK
scala> ULID.timeStamp(ULID.generate)
res1: Option[Long] = Some(1546094841642)
scala> System.currentTimeMillis
res2: Long = 1546094852651

ULID
provides a default ULID generator using SecureRandom
, that is slower than UUID v4.
If you do not need strong randomeness on generating ULID, you can use other random generator e.g. Random
instead of SecureRandom
.
