A next-generation, customizable and simple ID system, built in Rust.
---
### Features
- **Simple.** Akai generates beautiful, minimal IDs that are unique.
- **Customizable.** You can personalize the prefix, the starting timestamp, and you can use a node ID.
- **Robust.** Akai is built in Rust, the world's most loved programming language.
- **Safe.** It is impossible to generate a duplicate ID, due to the uniqueness of Superflake combined with random characters.
### Install
Put the desired version of the crate into the dependencies section of your Cargo.toml:
```toml
[dependencies]
akai = { version = "0.1.0" }
```
# The ID
Akai IDs consist of 3 sections: the prefix, the Superflake and the tail, which
is simply a cryptographically secure random string.
# Superflake
Superflake is a revolutionary identification technology based on Twitter's Snowflake.
Superflake is generated by concatenating:
- a 42-bit timestamp,
- a 10-bit node ID, and
- a 12-bit sequential number.
### Example
```rs
use akai::{Akai, AkaiPrefix, AkaiOptions};
let prefix = AkaiPrefix {
content: "user".to_string(),
allows_lowercase: true
};
let akai = Akai::new(AkaiOptions {
prefix,
custom_bytes: Some(8),
custom_timestamp: None
});
match akai.generate() {
Ok(id) => println!("{}", id),
Err(error) => eprintln!("Error: {}", error)
}
```
