Cloudflare Adds Security.txt Setup Wizard
Cloudflare has launched a setup wizard allowing users to easily create and manage a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure on their websites.
The 'cuid' npm package is a library for generating collision-resistant unique identifiers optimized for horizontal scaling and performance. It is designed to be simple, fast, and reliable, making it suitable for use in distributed systems and databases.
Generate a CUID
This feature allows you to generate a new CUID. The generated ID is a string that is guaranteed to be unique, making it ideal for use as a primary key in databases or as a unique identifier in distributed systems.
const cuid = require('cuid');
const id = cuid();
console.log(id);
Generate a Slug
This feature generates a shorter, URL-friendly version of a CUID, known as a slug. Slugs are useful for creating human-readable URLs or identifiers that need to be shorter than a full CUID.
const cuid = require('cuid');
const slug = cuid.slug();
console.log(slug);
Check if a String is a CUID
This feature allows you to check if a given string is a valid CUID. It returns a boolean value indicating whether the string conforms to the CUID format.
const cuid = require('cuid');
const isCuid = cuid.isCuid('cixl4bq9k0000mh3ea0000001');
console.log(isCuid);

const cuid = require('cuid');
const isSlug = cuid.isSlug('cixl4bq');
console.log(isSlug);
The 'uuid' package is a popular library for generating universally unique identifiers (UUIDs). Unlike CUIDs, UUIDs are standardized and widely used across different systems and platforms. UUIDs are typically longer than CUIDs and are not as human-readable.
The 'nanoid' package is a library for generating unique, URL-friendly IDs. It is similar to CUID in that it focuses on performance and collision resistance, but it generates shorter IDs by default. Nanoid is also highly customizable, allowing you to specify the alphabet and length of the generated IDs.
The 'shortid' package is another library for generating short, unique IDs. It is designed to be simple and fast, similar to CUID. However, 'shortid' is no longer maintained and has been deprecated in favor of 'nanoid'.
Collision-resistant client-side UID generator safe for element IDs and server-side lookups.
.cuid() returns a short random string with some collision-busting measures. Safe to use as HTML element ID's, and unique server-side record lookups.
