A simple utility to shorten UUIDs using base62 encoding.
Install using pip:
pip install uuid_shortener
from uuid_shortener import UUIDShortener
original_uuid = 'your-uuid-here'
shortened = UUIDShortener.encode(original_uuid)
print(f'Shortened UUID: {shortened}')
restored = UUIDShortener.decode(shortened)
print(f'Restored UUID: {restored}')
Replace your-uuid-here with an actual UUID to test.
a = str(uuid.uuid4())
print(a)
# >> 5798a735-d00f-4c1d-b86b-15603c6fda82
b = UUIDShortener.encode(a)
print(b)
# >> 2Fi5TIkiHjpn5ZkCA9WOky
print(UUIDShortener.decode(b))
# >> 5798a735-d00f-4c1d-b86b-15603c6fda82
