# Keysmith

Create keys, uuid's, timestamps, and more with Rust.

Here's some example keys:

```text
5WdT@KfYRyRDqh0AAVUsyitSXbm4OQwzClX9.XYn5kLmKeObCf8YE3HqzHdU3UTS
g1Y_Zp9-9rDf7VAaR1KGnH9Uf5klGjSQ6P2rAjK35iK-GnZ@dVXYu.aElzTfTOaK
M3rkxIbrD0lz-SpUBe704X2)Gd(_WprzRJW7N51O@_58180Gs9esIVBO5.OdFOlY
```

This looks like gibberish, but that's the point.
Two id's in a database should not overlap.
So if you need a lot of entries, you need to reduce the odds of that happening.
If the odds of two identical id's are astronomically low,
you shouldn't even need to check for an existing id in the first place.
Keysmith does that generation for you and outputs it as a String.

You can also generate version 4 UUID's.

```text
be3b5529-931b-6b75-1678-a057bccf71c9
440146ab-a19a-8a36-2d4b-ba19a79570d4
0090da40-6ce2-59d3-629d-11b293c9e2d3
```

Keysmith also supports many other data formats.
- Keys strings from custom character sets
- "Nonstandard" V4 UUID's using any letter as opposed to just a-f
- Timestamps (ex: 50546851)
- Dates (ex: 2023-07-17), times (ex: 19:34:07), and datetimes (ex: 2023-07-17T19:34:07)
- Individual characters
