Keysmith

Create keys/ids for data with Rust.

NOTICE

Keysmith is currently a WIP and not recommended for production projects yet.

Here's some example keys:

w~z69_iv.u@cxbguln_3vvpmk0l(nxje(oteuxe~j6p8xcuer76ump-1rc39(8~q
7y--i3spd1r0q-a8ahyelv1r8_bcr@zc0zlms@sag29q@.wredx_o~p.p3-_28jy
u7law0~xu7p@qwpa)@-3(iv3o5t-.di0~ihxj4d47xuq5@yftb_9bdpo2)@8)ry)

This looks like gibberish, but that's the point. Two id's in a database should not overlap. So if you need a lot of entries, you need to reduce the odds of that happening. If the odds of two identical id's are astronomically low, you shouldn't even need to check for an existing id in the first place. Keysmith does that generation for you and outputs it as a String.

Usage

use keysmith;

fn main() {
   let key: String = keysmith::gen_key(64);
   println!("{}", key);
   // ex: 9oqopjebm88r(39.)rty1~hseq882hmdvk5767ma434nkm0-6lfr.4d0vr5bs-.q
}

The above generates a key with a length of 64 characters as a String.
