cuid

Collision-resistant hashes for the cloud, in Go.

The ```cuid`` package provides collision-resistant ids optimized for horizontal scaling and sequential lookup performance. This README file is just going to cover the basics and the Go-specific implementation details.

Please refer to the main project site for the full rationale behind CUIDs.

Installation

HEAD:

go get github.com/lucsky/cuid

v1.0.1:

go get gopkg.in/lucsky/cuid.v1

Example usage

package main

import fmt
import "gopkg.in/lucsky/cuid.v1"

func main() {
    fmt.Println(cuid.New())
    fmt.Println(cuid.Slug())
}

Go package specific features

The Go cuid package provides APIs to specify a custom random source as well as a custom counter. A custom counter implementation could provide a centralized Redis base counter, for example.
