What is cuid?

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.

What are cuid's main functionalities?

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);
