# Dotnet D64

This library is a .net standard port of [d64](https://github.com/dominictarr/d64). 

d64 is a copy-pastable, url friendly, ascii embeddable, lexiographicly sortable binary encoding.

## D64Convert

D64Convert is a class providing feature very similar to native .net `Convert.ToBase64String` and `Convert.FromBase64String()`.

It exposes two static methods.

### Encode 

```csharp

static string Encode(byte[] data)

```

Encode takes a byte array and produces a D64 encoded string.

### Decode 

```csharp

static byte[] Decode(string str)

```

Decode takes a D64 encoded string and returns the decoded byte array.

## TimeBasedId

TimeBaseId is a sortable likely to be unique id generator. It is similar to guids except that they would be time sortable.

### Constructor 

```csharp

TimebasedId(bool reverseOrder)

```

You can specify if you want the natural sorting order to be reversed. This might be extremely usefull when using table storage and you want the data to be ordered from most recent to oldest.

### New ID 

```csharp

string NewId()

```

Generates a new Id based on `DateTimeOffset.UtcNow`.

```csharp

string NewId(DateTimeOffset datetime)

```

Generates a new Id using the specified `DateTimeOffset`.

### DateBoundary

```csharp

string DateBoundat(DateTimeOffset datetime)

```

Generates a boundary string which can be used in comparisons to find more recent or older ids.
