:mouse2: mini_uuid

mini_uuid is a Rust crate that converts UUIDs to a compact base64 representation, making them shorter and more efficient for storage and transmission!

P.S, I made this in my free time for fun when I was bored one day, not sure how much I will iterate this, please don't use in production unless you know the code you are using

Features

You can use this crate with v1, v4, or v7 uuids. Padding is optional, with the padding feature and you can enable url safety with the url_safe feature.

Usage


use mini_uuid::MiniUuid;

fn main() {
  // Generate a UUID
  let uuid = uuid::Uuid::new_v4();

  // Convert to mini UUID (base64)
  let mini = MiniUuid::from_uuid(&uuid);
  // or just create it without the `uuid` crate
  let mini = MiniUuid::new();
  println!("Mini UUID: {}", mini.to_string());

  // Convert back to UUID
  let original_uuid = mini.to_uuid().unwrap();
  println!("Original UUID: {}", original_uuid);

}

Methods

// Creates a `MiniUuid` from a `uuid::Uuid`
let mini = MiniUuid::from_uuid(uuid::Uuid::new_v4());

// Creates a `MiniUuid` from a string representing `uuid::Uuid`
let mini = MiniUuid::from_uuid_str("67e55044-10b1-426f-9247-bb680e5fe0c8");

// Creates a `MiniUuid` from a string by checking the `padding` and `url_safe` features
let mini = MiniUuid::from_string("/*INSERT MINI UUID*/");

// Creates a `MiniUuid` from a url safe base64 string with padding
let mini = MiniUuid::from_url_base64("Z+VQRBCxQm+SR7toDl/gyA==");

// Creates a `MiniUuid` from a url safe base64 string without padding
let mini = MiniUuid::from_url_base64_no_pad("Z+VQRBCxQm+SR7toDl/gyA");

// Creates a `MiniUuid` from a base64 string with padding
let mini = MiniUuid::from_base64("Z-VQRBCxQm-SR7toDl_gyA==");

// Creates a `MiniUuid` from a base64 string without padding
let mini = MiniUuid::from_base64_no_pad("Z-VQRBCxQm-SR7toDl_gyA");

// Converts `MiniUuid` to `uuid::Uuid`
let uuid = mini.to_uuid();

// Converts `MiniUuid` to a string by checking the `padding` and `url_safe` features
let uuid = mini.to_string();

// Converts `MiniUuid` to url safe base64 string with padding
let uuid = mini.to_url_base64();

// Converts `MiniUuid` to url safe base64 string without padding
let uuid = mini.to_url_base64_no_pad();

// Converts `MiniUuid` to base64 string with padding
let uuid = mini.to_base64();

// Converts `MiniUuid` to base64 string without padding
let uuid = mini.to_base64_no_pad();
