uuidv7 v1.0.2
uuidv7: A JavaScript implementation of UUID version 7
import { uuidv7 } from "uuidv7";
const result = uuidv7(); // e.g., "017fe537-bb13-7c35-b52a-cb5490cce7be"
On browsers and Deno:
import { uuidv7 } from "https://unpkg.com/uuidv7@^1";
const result = uuidv7(); // e.g., "017fe537-bb13-7c35-b52a-cb5490cce7be"
Command-line interface:
$ npx uuidv7
0189f7e5-c883-7106-8272-ccb7fcba0575
$
$ npx uuidv7 -n 4

Field and bit layout
This implementation produces identifiers with the following bit layout:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| unix_ts_ms |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| unix_ts_ms | ver | counter |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|var| counter |

Where:
- The 48-bit
unix_ts_ms
field is dedicated to the Unix timestamp in milliseconds. - The 4-bit
ver
field is set at0111
. - The 42-bit
counter
field accommodates a counter that ensures the increasing order of IDs generated within a millisecond. The counter is incremented by one for each new ID and is reset to a random number when theunix_ts_ms
changes. - The 2-bit
var
field is set at10
. - The remaining 32
rand
bits are filled with a cryptographically strong random number.
The 42-bit counter
is sufficiently large, so you do not usually need to worry
about overflow, but in an extremely rare circumstance where it overflows, this
library increments the unix_ts_ms
field to continue instant monotonic
generation. As a result, the unix_ts_ms
may have a greater value than that of
the system's real-time clock. (See also Why so large counter? (42bits)).
UUIDv7, by design, relies on the system clock to guarantee the monotonically
increasing order of generated IDs. A generator may not be able to produce a
monotonic sequence if the system clock goes backwards. This library ignores a
clock rollback and reuses the previous unix_ts_ms
unless the clock rollback is
considered significant (by default, more than ten seconds). If such a
significant rollback takes place, this library resets the generator by default
and thus breaks the increasing order of generated IDs.
Other features
This library also supports the generation of UUID version 4:
import { uuidv4 } from "uuidv7";
const result = uuidv4(); // e.g., "83229083-75c3-4da5-8378-f88ef1a2bcd1"
uuidv7obj()
and uuidv4obj()
return an object that represents a UUID as a
16-byte byte array:
import { uuidv7obj } from "uuidv7";
const object = uuidv7obj();
console.log(object.bytes); // Uint8Array(16) [ ... ]
console.log(String(object)); // e.g., "017fea6b-b877-7aef-b422-57db9ed15e9d"
console.assert(object.getVariant() === "VAR_10");
console.assert(object.getVersion() === 7);
console.assert(object.clone().equals(object));
console.assert(object.compareTo(uuidv7obj()) < 0);
The V7Generator
primitive allows to utilize a separate counter state from that
of the global generator. It also provides a fallible variant of the generator
function to give an absolute guarantee of the increasing order of UUIDs despite
a significant rollback of the system timestamp source.
import { V7Generator } from "uuidv7";
const g = new V7Generator();
const x = g.generate();
const y = g.generateOrAbort();
if (y === undefined) {
throw new Error("The clock went backwards by ten seconds!");
}
console.assert(x.compareTo(y) < 0);
See the API documentation for details.

Uuid25 provides the conversion to/from a condensed, sortable, case-insensitive, 25-digit Base36 representation of UUID as well as other well-known textual representations. Uuid25 is available in several languages including Go, JavaScript, Python, Rust, and Swift.
import { uuidv7obj } from "uuidv7";
import { Uuid25 } from "uuid25";
const uuid25 = Uuid25.fromBytes(uuidv7obj().bytes);
console.log(uuid25.value);
// e.g., "03a2s63x4x0b9mev9e88i7gpm"
console.log(uuid25.toHex());
// e.g., "0189f8068f1a79b6bb21123c6accc25a"
console.log(uuid25.toHyphenated());
