cuid

CUID generator for OCaml.

For further information, please refer to http://usecuid.org

Installation

If available on OPAM, it's easily installed with:

$ opam install cuid

Otherwise, this library is also installable using Dune within this root directory:

$ dune install

Usage

As library:

let cuid = Cuid.generate ( )
(* cuid is "c00p6veue0000072slgr067a3", for example *)

There's also an implementation of CUID slugs. They fit in cases where collision resistance is not important and when they are not generated too frequently. For instance, we can use them as URL suffixes for blog posts. To generate a CUID slug, just use:

let slug = Cuid.slug ( )
(* slug is "u90m0y0m", for example *)

Conclusion

PRs & issues are welcome. Have fun and imagine Sisyphus happy.
