TypeID Go

A golang implementation of TypeIDs

TypeIDs are a modern, type-safe, globally unique identifier based on the upcoming UUIDv7 standard. They provide a ton of nice properties that make them a great choice as the primary identifiers for your data in a database, APIs, and distributed systems. Read more about TypeIDs in their spec.

This particular implementation provides a go library for generating and parsing TypeIDs.

Installation

To add this library as a dependency in your go module, run:

go get go.jetify.com/typeid/v2

Usage

This library provides a go implementation of TypeID:

import (
"go.jetify.com/typeid/v2"
)
funcexample() {
// Generate a new TypeID with a prefix (panics on invalid prefix)tid:=typeid.MustGenerate("user")
fmt.Println(tid)
// Generate a new TypeID without a prefixtid=typeid.MustGenerate("")
fmt.Println(tid)
// Generate with error handlingtid, err:=typeid.Generate("user")
iferr!=nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Parse an existing TypeIDtid, _=typeid.Parse("user_00041061050r3gg28a1c60t3gf")
fmt.Println(tid)
// Convert from UUIDtid, _=typeid.FromUUID("user", "018e5f71-6f04-7c5c-8123-456789abcdef")
fmt.Println(tid)
}
