A golang implementation of TypeIDs
TypeIDs are a modern, type-safe, globally unique identifier based on the upcoming UUIDv7 standard. They provide a ton of nice properties that make them a great choice as the primary identifiers for your data in a database, APIs, and distributed systems. Read more about TypeIDs in their spec.
This particular implementation provides a go library for generating and parsing TypeIDs.
To add this library as a dependency in your go module, run:
go get go.jetify.com/typeid/v2This library provides a go implementation of TypeID:
import ( "go.jetify.com/typeid/v2" ) func example() { // Generate a new TypeID with a prefix (panics on invalid prefix) tid := typeid.MustGenerate("user") fmt.Println(tid) // Generate a new TypeID without a prefix tid = typeid.MustGenerate("") fmt.Println(tid) // Generate with error handling tid, err := typeid.Generate("user") if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // Parse an existing TypeID tid, _ = typeid.Parse("user_00041061050r3gg28a1c60t3gf") fmt.Println(tid) // Convert from UUID tid, _ = typeid.FromUUID("user", "018e5f71-6f04-7c5c-8123-456789abcdef") fmt.Println(tid) }For the full documentation, see this package's godoc.
