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

uuid-timestamp

UUID v4 based on timestamp (non-standard algorithm)

  • Valid UUID version 4
  • Built in timestamp in nanoseconds
  • Absolute uniqueness within your ecosystem
  • Super easy and fast

Install

$ npm install uuid-timestamp

Usage

Emitting UUID

Emit valid UUID v4 with nanosecond timestamp

const { uuidEmit } = require('uuid-timestamp');
const uuid = uuidEmit();
console.log(`Your new UUID v4 is: ${uuid}`);

// Your new UUID v4 is: 15972459-4799-4612-a723-231092612723

Parsing UUID timestamp

Parse UUID and get it's timestamp in milliseconds or nanoseconds

const { uuidParse, uuidParseNano } = require('uuid-timestamp');
const timestamp = uuidParse(uuid);
console.log(timestamp);
console.log(`UUID created at ${new Date(timestamp).toUTCString()}`);

// 1597245947996
// UUID created at Wed, 12 Aug 2020 15:25:47 GMT

console.log(uuidParseNano(uuid));

// 1597245947996127232n

Get current nanosecond timestamp

Additional method to get current nanosecond timestamp from system time and process.hrtime.bigint() diff

const { nanoTime } = require('uuid-timestamp');
console.log(nanoTime());

// 1597246608194080627n

API

uuidEmit()

returns

Type: String
The function returns a valid UUID v4.

uuidParse(uuid)

uuid

Type: String
Previously generated UUID.

returns

Type: Number
The function returns a timestamp in milliseconds, parsed from UUID.

uuidParseNano(uuid)

uuid

Type: String
Previously generated UUID.

returns

Type: BigInt
The function returns a timestamp in nanoseconds, parsed from UUID.

nanoTime()

returns

Type: BigInt
The function returns current nanosecond timestamp from system time and process.hrtime.bigint() diff.

Benchmarks

A comparative performance test based on discussion thread on stackoverflow. You can run the test and see the results on jsben.ch (browser version uses millisecond timestamp instead of the nanosecond Node.js version, so there may be some performance fluctuations)
