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 🙏

Readme

Unique ID number generator within band ranges

Unique identifier (ID) number generator within band ranges, by multiple generators in sequential order. Generated as a node.js module, however could be adapted for other systems.

Goals

  • to be unique.
  • to be a integer.
  • to be represented as a nanosecond.
  • to be issued sequentially.
  • to be scalable by multiple generators.

Reason

This schema, was developed for Kurunt, the scalable message processing framework, where you have multiple inputs receiving messages for processing that each require a unique ID represented as a sequential integer in nanosecond format.

Examples

1374207372000000001
1374207372000000002
1374207372000000003
...

Usage

var uidNumberBands = require('uid-number-bands');

var BAND = 0;
var BANDS = 100;

uidNumberBands.init(BAND, BANDS, function() {

	var id = uidNumberBands.make();
	console.log( 'id: ' + id );
	
	var idNormalized = uidNumberBands.normalize(id);
	console.log( 'idNormalized: ' + idNormalized );
	
});

Limitations

  • A maximum of 1 billion IDs can be issued per second with a 64 bit system.
  • This ID schema will exceed the nanoseconds 19 chars when unixtime exceeds 9999999999 on Sat, 20 Nov, 2286 17:46:39 GMT.
  • Because nanoseconds exceeds ECMA (javascripts) largest number, returned as string representing nanosecond integer.
