For more information on the theory and usage of CUID2, see the following.
For more information on the improvements of CUID2 over CUID, see the following.
pip install cuid2
You can generate CUIDs directly in the terminal with the following:
$ cuid2
Or you can rely on a CUID wrapper if you don't need any customizations:
from typing import Callable
from cuid2 import cuid_wrapper
cuid_generator: Callable[[], str] = cuid_wrapper()
def main():
my_cuid: str = cuid_generator()
next_cuid: str = cuid_generator()
Finally, for more explicit control of the CUID generator, you can instantiate the class directly:
from cuid2 import Cuid
CUID_GENERATOR: Cuid = Cuid(length=10)
def main():
my_cuid: str = CUID_GENERATOR.generate()
next_cuid: str = CUID_GENERATOR.generate()
