SCRU128: Sortable, Clock and Random number-based Unique identifier
SCRU128 ID is yet another attempt to supersede UUID for the users who need decentralized, globally unique time-ordered identifiers. SCRU128 is inspired by ULID and KSUID and has the following features:
- 128-bit unsigned integer type
- Sortable by generation time (as integer and as text)
- 25-digit case-insensitive textual representation (Base36)
- 48-bit millisecond Unix timestamp that ensures useful life until year 10889
- Up to 281 trillion time-ordered but unpredictable unique IDs per millisecond
- 80-bit three-layer randomness for global uniqueness
import "github.com/scru128/go-scru128/v3"
// generate a new identifier object
x := scru128.New()
fmt.Println(x) // e.g., "036z951mhjikzik2gsl81gr7l"
fmt.Println(x[:]) // as a 128-bit unsigned integer in big-endian byte array
// generate a textual representation directly
fmt.Println(scru128.NewString()) // e.g., "036z951mhzx67t63mq9xe6q0j"
