Getting Started

Install Package

go get github.com/btnguyen2k/olaf

Usage

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/btnguyen2k/olaf"
)

func main() {
    // use default epoch
    o := olaf.NewOlaf(1981)

    //use custom epoch (note: epoch is in milliseconds)
    //o := olaf.NewOlafWithEpoch(103, 1546543604123)

    id64 := o.Id64()
    id64Hex := o.Id64Hex()
    id64Ascii := o.Id64Ascii()
    fmt.Println("ID 64-bit (int)   : ", id64, " / Timestamp: ", o.ExtractTime64(id64))
    fmt.Println("ID 64-bit (hex)   : ", id64Hex, " / Timestamp: ", o.ExtractTime64Hex(id64Hex))
    fmt.Println("ID 64-bit (ascii) : ", id64Ascii, " / Timestamp: ", o.ExtractTime64Ascii(id64Ascii))

    id128 := o.Id128()
    id128Hex := o.Id128Hex()
    id128Ascii := o.Id128Ascii()
    fmt.Println("ID 128-bit (int)  : ", id128.String(), " / Timestamp: ", o.ExtractTime128(id128))
    fmt.Println("ID 128-bit (hex)  : ", id128Hex, " / Timestamp: ", o.ExtractTime128Hex(id128Hex))
    fmt.Println("ID 128-bit (ascii): ", id128Ascii, " / Timestamp: ", o.ExtractTime128Ascii(id128Ascii))
}

• Generate 64-bit and 128-bit IDs:
  • Support formats: integer, hex-string (base 16) and ascii-string (base 36).
  • Custom epoch (64-bit ID only).
• Extract the time metadata from generated ID.
