A simple, scalable, and efficient timestamp-based unique ID generator for distributed systems, implemented in JavaScript. This implementation generates unique identifiers using a combination of the current timestamp, ensuring uniqueness across different instances and distributed deployments.
- High Performance: Capable of generating thousands of unique IDs per second.
- Distributed System Friendly: Incorporates worker IDs to ensure uniqueness across multiple instances.
- BigInt Support: Uses JavaScript's BigInt for handling large numbers, avoiding issues with precision and range.
No installation required. You can copy the TimestampBasedUniqueID.js class into your project and use it as shown below.
const generator = new UniqueIdGenerator(); // Initialize
const uniqueID = generator.generateLongId(); // Generate a unique ID
console.log(uniqueID.toString());
