GOCUID2

Go port of CUID2 unique identifier from studying JavaScript and Java implemenations.

About the project

This is my attempt at writing a CUID2 compliant id generator for Go.

Status

This project is in the "just got it working and looking for feedback" status.

I based my implemenation on the original paralleldrive JavaScript one and to cross reference some JS stuff I found slighly confusing As a former Java main for 30 years, I looked at the Java version I found.

Both are listed below.

Getting started

Below we describe the conventions or tools specific to golang project.

Layout

├── .gitignore
├── cuid2.go
├── cuid2_test.go
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
├── LICENSE
├── README.md

A brief description of the layout:

• .gitignore varies per project, but all projects need to ignore bin directory.
• .cuid2.go is the package.
• .cuid2_test.go is the tests I created for the package.

Notes

• This looks to me to generate the same thing as the original paralleldrive JavaScript version.
• If it does not please tell my why in an issue.
