Package Exports

dyna-guid

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (dyna-guid) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

About

A simple guid generator.

The chances to get the same guid is one in 5.642.219.814.912 on the same millisecond in the same timezone!

Also the starting first block is the random one and this helps the binary search to find the guid with much less iterations.

Comparison with .net guid

dyna guid: 1db35ac3-1fd43hh2-25211997750547120

.net guid: 30dd879c-ee2f-11db-8314-0800200c9a66

The difference is that dyna guid is

hard to generate the same on the same millisecond per timezone and
impossible to generate the same on next millisecond

Usage

import {guid} from "dyna-guid";

console.log('guid', guid());
console.log('even stronger guid', guid(3));

Method

function guid(blocks: number = 2): string

Block is a set of 8 chars separated with dashes.

If you need even more complex guids (!why?) you can increase the number of blocks. Or for shorter set it to 1.
