Snowflake Generator
Description
The Snowflake Generator is a JavaScript class designed to generate unique snowflake IDs based on the Twitter Snowflake algorithm. Snowflake IDs are commonly used in distributed systems to generate unique IDs with a timestamp, worker ID, and sequence number.
Functionality
The Snowflake class provides the following functionality:
- Generation: It generates a unique snowflake ID based on the current timestamp, worker ID, and sequence number.
 - Parsing: It can parse a snowflake ID to extract its timestamp, worker ID, and sequence number.
 - Validity Check: It can check the validity of a snowflake ID based on its timestamp.
 
Usage
- Instantiate the Snowflake class with worker ID and datacenter ID.
 - Generate a snowflake ID using the 
generate()method. - Parse the generated snowflake ID using the 
parseSnowflake()method to extract its components. - Optionally, check the validity of a snowflake ID using the 
isValidSnowflake()method. 
Example
const snowflake = new Snowflake(1, 1);
const id = snowflake.generate();
const parsedId = snowflake.parseSnowflake(id);
const isValid = snowflake.isValidSnowflake(id);
