# [uuidv7](https://github.com/coolaj86/uuidv7)

Generate UUID v7 strings, like `019212d3-87f4-7d25-902e-b8d39fe07f08`.

```sh
uuidv7 > uuidv7.txt
```

```text
019212d3-87f4-7d25-902e-b8d39fe07f08
```

# Install

Pre-built archives available for Mac, Linux, & Widows. \
Compile from source for FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc.

1. Download from GitHub Releases:
2. Extract
3. Place in your `PATH`

```sh
b_triplet='x86_64-linux-musl'
curl -L -O https://github.com/coolaj86/uuidv7/releases/download/v1.0.0/uuidv7-v1.0.0-"$b_triplet".tar.gz
tar xvf ./uuidv7-v1.0.0-"$b_triplet".tar.gz
mv ./uuidv7 ~/bin/
```

# JavaScript Version

Supports both `import` and `require`.

Extremely simple implementation that can be tuned for speed or memory
efficiency.

```sh
npm install --save @root/uuidv7
```

High-level API:

```js
import UUIDv7 from "@root/uuidv7";

UUIDv7.uuidv7();
// 01922aa4-88ad-7cae-a517-a298a491d35c

UUIDv7.uuidv7Bytes();
// Uint8Array(16) [ 1, 146, 42, 176, 37, 122, 114, 189
// 172, 240, 1, 146, 42, 176, 37, 122 ]
```

Low-level API:

```js
let buffer = new Uint8Array(4096); // optional, if you need lots of UUIDs, and fast
UUIDv7.setBytesBuffer(buffer);
```

```js
let now = Date.now();
let ms64 = BigInt(now);
let bytes = new Uint8Array(16);
let start = 0;
globalThis.crypto.getRandomValues(bytes);

void UUIDv7.fill(bytes, start, ms64);

console.log(bytes);
// Uint8Array(16) [ 1, 146, 42, 176, 37, 122, 114, 189
// 172, 240, 1, 146, 42, 176, 37, 122 ]
```

```js
let uuidv7 = UUIDv7.format(bytes);
console.log(uuidv7);
// 01922aa4-88ad-7cae-a517-a298a491d35c
```

# UUIDv7 Spec

## By the Characters

There are 36 characters total: 32 hex (`0123456789abcdef`) + 4 dashes (`-`)

```text
8 time 4 time 1v + 3ra ½v + 3½rb 12 random b
019212d3 - 87f4 - 7d25 - 902e - b8d39fe07f08
```

- 8ch hex time high
- `-`
- 4ch hex time low
- `-`
- 4ch hex version + "random a"
- 1ch hex version: `7`
- 3ch hex "random a"
- `-`
- 4ch hex variant + "random b"
- 1ch hex version: `8`, `9`, `a`, `b`
- 3ch hex "random b"
- `-`
- 12ch hex randam a
- 4ch hex random a
- 8ch hex random a

## By the Bits

There are 128 bits total: \
48 time and 80 random, with 4 version and 2 variant bits substituted

```text
48 time 4ver, 12ra 2var, 14rb random b
019212d3-87f4 - 7d25 - 902e - b8d39fe07f08
```

- 48 bits of timestamp
- 32-bit high (minutes to years)
- 16-bit low (seconds & milliseconds)
- 16 bits of version + random
- 4-bit version (`0b0111`)
- 12-bit random
- 64-bits variant + random
- 2-bit variant (`0b10`)
- 62-bit random

# Build

## Go

```sh
curl https://webi.sh/go | sh
source ~/.config/envman/PATH.env
```

For the current platform:

```sh
go build -o uuidv7 ./cmd/.
```

For Linux containers:

```sh
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 GOAMD64=v2 go build -o uuidv7 ./cmd/.
```

The entire build matrix (into `./dist/`):

```sh
goreleaser --snapshot --skip=publish --clean
```

### TinyGo

```sh
curl https://webi.sh/go | sh
source ~/.config/envman/PATH.env
```

```sh
tinygo build -o uuidv7 ./cmd/.
```

```sh
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 GOAMD64=v2 tinygo build -o uuidv7 ./cmd/.
```

## Swift

```sh
swift build --configuration release --show-bin-path

./.build/arm64-apple-macosx/release/uuidv7
```

## Zig

See .

Builds with zig v0.13 and the v0.14 previews so far.

```sh
curl https://webi.sh/zig@0.13 | sh
source ~/.config/envman/PATH.env
```

```sh
zig build-exe ./uuidv7.zig -O ReleaseSmall -femit-bin="uuidv7"

for b_target in x86-linux-musl aarch64-macos-none x86_64-windows-gnu; do
zig build-exe ./uuidv7.zig -O ReleaseSmall \
-target "${b_target}" -femit-bin="uuidv7-${b_target}"
done
```
