@sapphire/snowflake

Deconstruct and generate snowflake IDs using BigInts.

GitHub codecov npm bundle size npm Depfu

Table of Contents

Description

There is often a need to get a unique ID for entities, be that for Discord messages/channels/servers, keys in a database or many other similar examples. There are many ways to get such a unique ID, and one of those is using a so-called "snowflake". You can read more about snowflake IDs in this Medium article.

Features

  • Written in TypeScript
  • Bundled with Rollup so it can be used in NodeJS and browsers
  • Offers CommonJS, ESM and UMD bundles
  • Offers predefined epochs for Discord and Twitter
  • Fully tested

Installation

yarn add @sapphire/snowflake
# npm install @sapphire/snowflake

Usage

Note: While this section uses require, the imports match 1:1 with ESM imports. For example const { Snowflake } = require('@sapphire/snowflake') equals import { Snowflake } from '@sapphire/snowflake'.

Constructing snowflakes

Snowflakes with custom epoch

// Import the Snowflake class
const { Snowflake } = require('@sapphire/snowflake');

// Define a custom epoch
const epoch = new Date('2000-01-01T00:00:00.000Z');

// Create an instance of Snowflake
const snowflake = new Snowflake(epoch);

// Generate a snowflake with the given epoch
const uniqueId = snowflake.generate();

Snowflake with Discord epoch constant

// Import the Snowflake class
const { DiscordSnowflake } = require('@sapphire/snowflake');

// Create an instance of Snowflake
const discordSnowflake = new DiscordSnowflake();

// Generate a snowflake with Discord's epoch
const uniqueId = discordSnowflake.generate();

// Alternatively, you can use the method directly
const uniqueId = DiscordSnowflake.generate();

Snowflake with Twitter epoch constant

// Import the Snowflake class
const { TwitterSnowflake } = require('@sapphire/snowflake');

// Create an instance of Snowflake
const twitterSnowflake = new TwitterSnowflake();

// Generate a snowflake with Twitter's epoch
const uniqueId = twitterSnowflake.generate();

// Alternatively, you can use the method directly
const uniqueId = TwitterSnowflake.generate();

Deconstructing snowflakes

Snowflakes with custom epoch

// Import the Snowflake class
const { Snowflake } = require('@sapphire/snowflake');

// Define a custom epoch
const epoch = new Date('2000-01-01T00:00:00.000Z');

// Create an instance of Snowflake
const snowflake = new Snowflake(epoch);

// Deconstruct a snowflake with the given epoch
const uniqueId = snowflake.deconstruct('3971046231244935168');

Snowflake with Discord epoch constant

// Import the Snowflake class
const { DiscordSnowflake } = require('@sapphire/snowflake');

// Create an instance of Snowflake
const discordSnowflake = new DiscordSnowflake();

// Deconstruct a snowflake with Discord's epoch
const uniqueId = discordSnowflake.deconstruct('3971046231244935168');

// Alternatively, you can use the method directly
const uniqueId = DiscordSnowflake.deconstruct('3971046231244935168');

Snowflake with Twitter epoch constant

// Import the Snowflake class
const { TwitterSnowflake } = require('@sapphire/snowflake');

// Create an instance of Snowflake
const twitterSnowflake = new TwitterSnowflake();

// Deconstruct a snowflake with Twitter's epoch
const uniqueId = twitterSnowflake.deconstruct('3971046231244935168');

// Alternatively, you can use the method directly
const uniqueId = TwitterSnowflake.deconstruct('3971046231244935168');
