narciso

Unique ID generator

Narciso is a unique ID generator using a 128 random bits. Narciso provides 4 flavors of ID: UUID, Integer, Token that can be used on URL (base 36 encoding in binary format) and 128 bits binary.

Installation

Using rebar:

{deps, [
	{narciso, ".*", {git, "https://github.com/jjmrocha/narciso.git", "master"}}
]}.

Usage

Generation of unique IDs:

% 128 bits binary
1> narciso:unique().
<<189,185,221,128,122,46,74,138,182,161,126,32,222,97,156,118>>

% uuid
2> narciso:uuid().
<<"1475bfc9-1b99-44b0-a990-358e1db44d53">>

% token
3> narciso:token().
<<"3Z389YKB061D068UX5IY6GBVA">>

% 128 bits integer
4> narciso:id().
59486245756825984547942457398141853665

128 bits ID in diferent formats:

% 128 bits binary
1> Unique = narciso:unique().
<<65,201,173,96,12,171,78,27,175,200,207,151,251,185,70,98>>

% uuid from unique
2> narciso:uuid(Unique).     
<<"41c9ad60-0cab-4e1b-afc8-cf97fbb94662">>

% token from unique
3> narciso:token(Unique).    
<<"3W7NNI025418B96LYDZQXYB8I">>

% 128 bits integer from unique
4> narciso:id(Unique).       
87446987861270980488766438974793795170

Converting diferent formats back to 128 bits unique:

% From uuid
1> narciso:uuid_to_unique(<<"41c9ad60-0cab-4e1b-afc8-cf97fbb94662">>).
<<65,201,173,96,12,171,78,27,175,200,207,151,251,185,70,98>>

% From token
2> narciso:token_to_unique(<<"3W7NNI025418B96LYDZQXYB8I">>).
<<65,201,173,96,12,171,78,27,175,200,207,151,251,185,70,98>>

% From a 128 bits integer
3> narciso:id_to_unique(87446987861270980488766438974793795170).
<<65,201,173,96,12,171,78,27,175,200,207,151,251,185,70,98>>
