Package stringid provides helper functions for dealing with string identifiers

Index ¶

• func GenerateNonCryptoID() string
• func GenerateRandomID() string
• func IsShortID(id string) bool
• func TruncateID(id string) string

Functions ¶

func GenerateNonCryptoID ¶

func GenerateNonCryptoID() string

GenerateNonCryptoID generates unique id without using cryptographically secure sources of random. It helps you to save entropy.

func GenerateRandomID ¶

func GenerateRandomID() string

GenerateRandomID returns a unique id.

func IsShortID ¶

func IsShortID(id string) bool

IsShortID determines if an arbitrary string *looks like* a short ID.

func TruncateID ¶

func TruncateID(id string) string

TruncateID returns a shorthand version of a string identifier for convenience. A collision with other shorthands is very unlikely, but possible. In case of a collision a lookup with TruncIndex.Get() will fail, and the caller will need to use a longer prefix, or the full-length Id.
