This project is part of the @thi.ng/umbrella monorepo.

About

Configurable K-sortable unique identifiers, binary & base-N encoded.

Idea based on segmentio/ksuid, though with added flexibility in terms of configuration & implementation:

  • Configurable bit size (default: 128bits)
  • Base-N encoding scheme (default: base62, see @thi.ng/base-n for alternatives)
  • Epoch start time offset
  • RNG source (default: window.crypto)

KSUIDs generated w/ this package consist of the lower 32bits of an Unix epoch (potentially time shifted to free up bits for future timestamps) and N bits of a random payload (from a configurable source). IDs can be generated as byte arrays or base-N encoded strings. For the latter, the JS runtime MUST support BigInt.

  • @thi.ng/base-n - Arbitrary base-n conversions w/ presets for base16/32/36/58/62/64/85, support for arrays & bigints
  • @thi.ng/random - Pseudo-random number generators w/ unified API, distributions, weighted choices, ID generation

API

Generated API docs

import { defKSUID } from "@thi.ng/ksuid";

// init w/ defaults
const id = defKSUID();

id.next();
// '05XCWbXa3akRqLDBUw4ogCVKGkd'

const a = id.nextBinary()
// Uint8Array(20) [
//     0, 160,  48, 77, 101, 251,
//   244,  17, 155, 97,  24, 101,
//    70,  71, 207, 23,  32,  21,
//   244, 116
// ]

// format a binary KSUID
id.format(a);
// '05XCZ32AaDZfZt0SWE2C22o6cqK'

Creating custom IDs:

import { BASE36 } from "@thi.ng/base-n";

// no time shift, 64bit random
const id36 = defKSUID({ base: BASE36, epoch: 0, bytes: 8 });
// '2VOUKH4K59AG0RXR4XH'
