Generate Snowflake

Generate unique IDs. Inspired by Twitter's Snowflake system.

Installation

• Initialize your project (go mod init example.com/example)
• Add package (go get github.com/barbarbar338/snowflake)

Usage

package main

import "github.com/barbarbar338/snowflake"

func main() {
    // create a new factory with your projects EPOCH and machineID
    s := snowflake.NewFactory(1420070400000, 0)

    id := s.Generate() // Some unique snowflake ID (eg: 17447384661725548544)
}

How It Works?

EPOCH: 1420070400000
Snowflake: 17447384661725548544

Binary: 1011110001000000010100000111000110011001000001000000000000
Timestamp: 4159708641244
MachineID: 1
Sequence: 0
