Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Snowflake ID Generator for TypeScript (snowgen-id)

snowgen-id is a TypeScript library for generating unique IDs based on the Snowflake algorithm. It provides a customizable and efficient way to generate 64-bit IDs using components such as timestamp, worker ID, datacenter ID, and sequence number.

Disclaimer: This library takes heavy inspiration from the rakheyl/snowflake-uuid project, but it has been rewritten to fit specific use cases.

Features

  • Customizable bit lengths for worker ID, datacenter ID, and sequence to accommodate various scaling needs.
  • Built-in protection against clock going backwards.
  • Ability to parse generated IDs to extract timestamp, worker ID, datacenter ID, and sequence number.
  • Independent parser function for parsing IDs without creating a worker instance.

Installation

To install snowgen-id, use the following command:

bun add @mmbytes/snowgen-id

You can also use your preferred package manager:

  • npm i @mmbytes/snowgen-id
  • pnpm i @mmbytes/snowgen-id

Usage

Import the createWorker function from the library and initialize it with your worker and datacenter IDs, along with optional configuration options.

import { createWorker } from "@mmbytes/snowgen-id";

// Initialize the worker with worker ID and datacenter ID
const worker = createWorker(0n, 1n);

// Generate a new ID
const newId = worker.nextId();
console.log(`Generated ID: ${newId}`); // Example output: Generated ID: 1617202485447688192n

// Parse an ID
const parsedId = worker.parse(newId);
console.log(`Parsed ID:`, parsedId);
// Example output:
// Parsed ID: {
//   timestamp: 1617202485447n,
//   workerId: 0n,
//   datacenterId: 1n,
//   sequence: 0n
// }

You can also use the independent parseId function to parse IDs without creating a worker instance:

import { parseId } from "@mmbytes/snowgen-id";

const id = user.id  // your table row id
console.log(`Parsed ID:`, parseId(id));
// Example output:
// Object: {
//   timestamp: 1617202485447n,
//   workerId: 0n,
//   datacenterId: 1n,
//   sequence: 0n
// }

API Reference

Create a new worker instance capable of generating and parsing unique IDs. createWorker(workerId: bigint, datacenterId: bigint, options?: WorkerOptions)

Parameters:

  • workerId: Unique ID of the worker node.
  • datacenterId: Unique ID of the data center.
  • options: Optional configuration for ID generation.

Returns

An object with the following methods:

  • nextId(): Generates a new unique ID.
  • parse(bigint): Parses a given ID into its components.
  • getCurrentSequence(): Returns the current sequence number.
  • getLastTimestamp(): Returns the last timestamp used for ID generation.

parseId(id: bigint, options?: WorkerOptions)

Parses a given ID into its components.

Parameters

  • id: The ID to parse.
  • options: Optional configuration for parsing the ID.

Returns

An object representing the parsed ID components:

  • timestamp: The timestamp component of the ID.
  • workerId: The worker ID component of the ID.
  • datacenterId: The datacenter ID component of the ID.
  • sequence: The sequence number component of the ID.

WorkerOptions

Configuration options for the ID generator.

  • epoch: The epoch start time for the timestamp component of the ID. Default is 1609459200000n (January 1, 2021).
  • workerIdBits: Number of bits allocated for the worker ID. Default is 5.
  • datacenterIdBits: Number of bits allocated for the datacenter ID. Default is 5.
  • sequenceBits: Number of bits allocated for the sequence number. Default is 12.
