### A type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
|
|
|
|
[TypeIDs](https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid) are a modern, type-safe, globally unique identifier based on the upcoming UUIDv7 standard. They provide a ton of nice properties that make them a great choice as the primary identifiers for your data in a database, APIs, and distributed systems. Read more about TypeIDs in their spec.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
The package can be installed from [hex](https://hex.pm/packages/typeid_elixir) by adding `typeid_elixir` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
|
|
|
|
```elixir
|
|
def deps do
|
|
[
|
|
{:typeid_elixir, "~> 0.3.0"}
|
|
]
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Spec
|
|
|
|
The original TypeID spec is defined [here](https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid).
|
|
|
|
## Usage with Ecto
|
|
|
|
`TypeID` implements the `Ecto.ParameterizedType` behaviour so you can use
|
|
TypeIDs as fields in your Ecto schemas.
|
|
|
|
```elixir
|
|
defmodule MyApp.Accounts.User do
|
|
use Ecto.Schema
|
|
|
|
@primary_key {:id, TypeID, autogenerate: true, prefix: "acct", type: :binary_id}
|
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
end
|
|
```
