# get-uid [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dfcreative/get-uid.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dfcreative/get-uid) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/dfcreative/get-uid/badges/gpa.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/dfcreative/get-uid)

Simple random id generator.

`$ npm install get-uid`

```js

	var getUid = require('get-uid');

	getUid(); //1178851014

	getUid(); //811233864

	...

```

Yet another one uid generator? There are already some:

* gen-uid

* unique

* uid

* uid2

* uid-util

* micro-uid

* component-uid

* j-uid

* unique-id

* uniqid

* short-uid

* puid

* amp-unique-id

* genuid

* simple-uid

* random-id

* smart-id

* uuid-pure

* simple-random-id

* nid

This one is just shorter and simpler, almost like `id++`, but with no bad side-effects. The technique is used innerly by [Financial Times’ WeakSet](https://github.com/Financial-Times/polyfill-service/blob/master/polyfills/WeakSet/polyfill.js), [Web-components’ WeakMap](https://github.com/webcomponents/webcomponentsjs/blob/master/src/WeakMap/WeakMap.js) and so on.
