Struct ulid::Ulid

pub struct Ulid(_);

A Ulid is a unique 128-bit lexicographically sortable identifier

Canonically, it is represented as a 26 character Crockford Base32 encoded string.

Of the 128-bits, the first 48 are a unix timestamp in milliseconds. The remaining 80 are random. The first 48 provide for lexicographic sorting and the remaining 80 ensure that the identifier is unique.

Methods

impl Ulid

fn new() -> Ulid

Creates a new Ulid with the current time

fn from_datetime<T: TimeZone>(datetime: DateTime<T>) -> Ulid

Creates a new Ulid with the given datetime

This can be useful when migrating data to use Ulid identifiers

fn from_string(encoded: &str) -> Result<Ulid, EncodingError>

Creates a Ulid from a Crockford Base32 encoded string

An EncodingError will be returned when the given string is not formated properly.

fn datetime(&self) -> DateTime<UTC>

Gets the datetime of when this Ulid was created accurate to 1ms

fn to_string(&self) -> String

Creates a Crockford Base32 encoded string that represents this Ulid
