# ULIDs in Elm

This package implements the [ULID specification](https://github.com/ulid/spec) for generating universally unique 128 bit identifiers.

Benefits of ULID, per the spec:

* 128-bit compatibility with UUID

* 1.21e+24 unique ULIDs per millisecond

* Lexicographically sortable!

* Canonically encoded as a 26 character string, as opposed to the 36 character UUID

* Uses Crockford's base32 for better efficiency and readability (5 bits per character)

* Case insensitive

* No special characters (URL safe)

* Monotonic sort order (correctly detects and handles the same millisecond)

```elm

import Ulid

type alias Model =

    { idGenerator : Ulid.Generator

    , ...

    }

type Msg

    = GotUlid String

```
