Uber-fast unique id generation, for Node.js and the browser. Here are the benchmarks:
crypto.randomUUID x 12,969,725 ops/sec ±0.88% (91 runs sampled)
hashids process.hrtime x 419,350 ops/sec ±0.66% (94 runs sampled)
hashids counter x 819,049 ops/sec ±0.58% (93 runs sampled)
shortid x 40,820 ops/sec ±2.49% (87 runs sampled)
crypto.random x 372,773 ops/sec ±2.39% (84 runs sampled)
nid x 1,614,450 ops/sec ±0.38% (93 runs sampled)
uuid.v4 x 1,446,051 ops/sec ±0.60% (98 runs sampled)
napiRsUuid.v4 x 8,676,151 ops/sec ±0.49% (97 runs sampled)
uuid.v1 x 2,051,072 ops/sec ±0.15% (99 runs sampled)
nanoid x 4,293,733 ops/sec ±0.31% (97 runs sampled)
hyperid - variable length x 25,937,129 ops/sec ±1.48% (91 runs sampled)
hyperid - fixed length x 24,970,478 ops/sec ±1.48% (92 runs sampled)
hyperid - fixed length, url safe x 25,856,735 ops/sec ±1.93% (92 runs sampled)
Fastest is hyperid - variable length,hyperid - fixed length, url safe
Slowest is shortid
Note: Benchmark run with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz and Node.js v22.0.0
As you can see the native crypto.randomUUID is almost as fast as hyperid
on Node.js v16, but not on v14.
npm i hyperid --save
'use strict'
const hyperid = require('hyperid')
const instance = hyperid()
const id = instance()
console.log(id)
console.log(instance())
console.log(hyperid.decode(id))
console.log(hyperid.decode(instance()))Returns a function to generate unique ids. The function can accept one of the following parameters:
fixedLength: BooleanIf fixedLength istruethe function will always generate an id that is 33 characters in length, by defaultfixedLengthisfalse.options: ObjectIf{ fixedLength: true }is passed in, the function will always generate an id that is 33 characters in length, by defaultfixedLengthisfalse. If{ urlSafe: true }is passed in, the function will generate url safe ids according to RFC4648. If{ startFrom: <int> }is passed in, the first counter will start from that number, which must be between 0 and 2147483647. Fractions are discarded, only the integer part matters.
Returns an unique id.
The uuid used to generate the ids, it will change over time.
It is regenerated every Math.pow(2, 31) - 1 to keep the integer a SMI
(a V8 optimization).
Decode the unique id into its two components, a uuid and a counter.
If you are generating url safe ids, you must pass { urlSafe: true } as option.
It returns:
{
uuid: '049b7020-c787-41bf-a1d2-a97612c11418',
count: 1
}This is aliased as instance.decode.
