A shard can be just any JS object.

## Installation

```
$ npm install sharder --save
```


## Basic Example

```js

var shard1 = { url: 'http://localhost:3000', append: true }
, shard2 = { url: 'http://localhost:3001', append: true }
, shard3 = { url: 'http://localhost:3002', append: false }
, sharder = require('sharder')({
shards: {
1: shard1
, 2: shard2
, 3: shard3
}
})

, key = sharder.generate()

, cacher = require('sharder')({
cache: true,
shards: {
1: shard1
, 2: shard2
}
})

console.log(sharder.resolve(key))
// { url: 'http://localhost:3000', append: true, id: 1 }
console.log(sharder.resolve(key))
// { url: 'http://localhost:3000', append: true, id: 1 }
console.log(sharder.resolve(key))
// { url: 'http://localhost:3000', append: true, id: 1 }

console.log(cacher.generate(new Buffer([1, 2])))
// 01000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000102
console.log(cacher.generate(new Buffer([1, 2])))
// 01000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000102
console.log(cacher.generate(new Buffer([3, 2])))
// 02000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000302
console.log(cacher.generate(new Buffer([3, 2])))
// 02000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000302
```

-------------------------------------------------------

### Sharder(opts)

Sharder is the class and function exposed by this module.
It can be created by `sharder()` or using `new Sharder()`.

A sharder accepts the following options:

- `shards`: contains a map of shards, identified by a number.
- `cache`: enables cache mode, in this mode all shards must be
appendable and generate must be used with a fixed prefix.

Every shard might include a `append: true` property, to identify
it is writable. This property is defaulted to true.

Example

```
new Sharder({
shards: {
1: {
append: false
, url: 'http://localhost:3001'
}
, 2: {
append: true
, url: 'http://localhost:3002'
}
, 3: {
append: true
, url: 'http://localhost:3003'
}
}
})
```

-------------------------------------------------------

### sharder.generate([fixedPart])

Generate a uuid-style identifier.

If the sharder is initialized with `cache: true` the fixedPart
is mandatory, and the id is calculated based on the number
of bits in the fixedPart.

-------------------------------------------------------

### sharder.resolve(key)

Resolve a key generated by `generate()` to a specific shard.
