Crate id_forge 

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.

Stability

v1.0.0 is the API freeze. Every public item visible from this crate is committed under strict SemVer per docs/STABILITY.md. Within the 1.x line, additive changes are minor releases; any breaking change requires a 2.0. MSRV is Rust 1.75.
