SCRU128: Sortable, Clock and Random number-based Unique identifier

SCRU128 ID is yet another attempt to supersede UUID in the use cases that need decentralized, globally unique time-ordered identifiers. SCRU128 is inspired by ULID and KSUID and has the following features:

• 128-bit unsigned integer type
• Sortable by generation time (as integer and as text)
• 26-digit case-insensitive portable textual representation
• 44-bit biased millisecond timestamp that ensures remaining life of 550 years
• Up to 268 million time-ordered but unpredictable unique IDs per millisecond
• 84-bit layered randomness for collision resistance

import { scru128 } from "scru128";

console.log(scru128()); // e.g. "00PGHAJ3Q9VAJ7IU6PQBHBUAK4"
console.log(scru128()); // e.g. "00PGHAJ3Q9VAJ7KU6PQ92NVBTV"

See SCRU128 Specification for details.
