A command-line interface to generate collision-resistant ids (CUIDs) optimized for horizontal scaling and performance.
A command-line interface to generate collision-resistant ids (CUIDs) optimized for horizontal scaling and performance.
A CUID is a short, random string with some collision-busting measures. These are safe to use as HTML element id's and for unique, server-side record lookups.
This CLI is built on the work of Eric Elliott and makes use of the CUID package found at https://www.npmjs.com/package/cuid.
Install CUIDGEN globally as you would any other NPM package.
npm install -g cuidgen
CUIDGEN is built using oclif. As such, it requires Node 8+.
