eska-id v0.1.4

Install

npm i eska-id

Features

• Really simple to understand and implement
• Guaranteed uniqueness
• Timestamped
• Shorter than UUIDs
• Cryptographically secure by design

The ID

Eska IDs consist of 3 sections: the prefix, the Superflake and the tail, which is simply a cryptographically secure random string.

Superflake

Superflake is a revolutionary technology based on Twitter's Snowflake. Superflake is generated by concatenating:

• a 42-bit timestamp,
• a 10-bit node ID, and
• a 12-bit sequential number.

If you want to generate Superflakes without using Eska or implementing your own code, use this library.

Example

import { Eska } from "eska-id";

// Initialize Eska
const eska = new Eska({ prefix: { content: "u" } });

// Generate an Eska ID
eska.generate();
// => u_692461092816395059286eafdfb2a12963b
