§id-forge

Typed, high-performance unique ID generation for Rust. Every common ID scheme in one zero-dependency library:

  • uuid: UUID v4 (random) and v7 (time-ordered)
  • ulid: Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable ID
  • snowflake: Twitter Snowflake-style 64-bit IDs (epoch + worker + sequence)
  • nanoid: URL-safe random strings of any length

§Quick example

use id_forge::uuid::Uuid;

let id = Uuid::v4();
println!("{id}");

§Why this library exists

Today’s options are fragmented: uuid for UUIDs, ulid for ULIDs, snowflake-rs for snowflakes, nanoid for NanoIDs. Each has its own quirks, MSRV, and dependencies. id-forge is one zero-dep crate at MSRV 1.75 covering every scheme.

§Status

v0.9.1 ships the real ULID implementation: spec-compliant Crockford base32, 80-bit monotonic factory inside a millisecond, and a case-insensitive parser. UUID v4/v7 (from 0.9.0) and ULID now share an inline xoshiro256** random source. Snowflake and NanoID remain placeholders until 0.9.2 and 0.9.3.
