Monoton
Highly scalable, single/multi node, predictable and incremental unique id generator.
Installation
Via go packages:
go get github.com/mustafaturan/monoton
API
The method names and arities/args are stable now. No change should be expected
on the package for the version 1.x.x except any bug fixes.
Usage
Using with Singleton
Create a new package like below, and then call Next() method:
package uniqid
// Import packages
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/mustafaturan/monoton"
"github.com/mustafaturan/monoton/sequencer"
)
var m monoton.Monoton
// On init configure the monoton
func init() {
m = *(newIDGenerator())
}
func newIDGenerator() *monoton.Monoton {
// Fetch your node id from a config server or generate from MAC/IP address
node := uint64(1)
// A unix time value which will be subtracted from the time sequence value.
// The initialTime value type corresponds to the sequencer type's time
// representation. If you are using Millisecond sequencer then it must be
// considered as Millisecond
// If we want to init the time with 2020-01-01 00:00:00 PST
initialTime := uint64(1577865600000)
// Configure monoton with a sequencer and the node
m, err = monoton.New(sequencer.NewMillisecond(), node, initialTime)
if err != nil{
panic(err)
}
return m
}
func Generate() string {
m.Next()
}
In any other package generate the ids like below:
import (
"fmt"
"uniqid" // your local uniqid package from your project
)
func main() {
for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
fmt.Println(uniqid.Generate())
}
}
Using with Dependency Injection
package main
// Import packages
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/mustafaturan/monoton"
"github.com/mustafaturan/monoton/sequencer"
)
func NewIDGenerator() *monoton.Monoton {
// Fetch your node id from a config server or generate from MAC/IP address
node := uint64(1)
// A unix time value which will be subtracted from the time sequence value.
// The initialTime value type corresponds to the sequencer type's time
// representation. If you are using Millisecond sequencer then it must be
// considered as Millisecond
initialTime := uint64(0)
// Configure monoton with a sequencer and the node
m, err = monoton.New(sequencer.NewMillisecond(), node, initialTime)
if err != nil{
panic(err)
}
return m
}
func main() {
g := NewIDGenerator()
for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
fmt.Println(g.Next())
}
}
Features
Time Ordered
The monoton package provides sequences based on the monotonic time which
represents the absolute elapsed wall-clock time since some arbitrary, fixed
point in the past. It isn't affected by changes in the system time-of-day clock.
Please refer to [ADR 01 - Time](docs/adrs/time.md) for details and consequences.
Initial Time
Initial time value opens space for time value by subtracting the given value from the time sequence.
Readable
The monoton package converts all sequences into Base62 format. And Base62
only uses ASCII alpha-numeric chars to represent data which makes it easy to
read, predict the order by a human eye.
The total byte size is fixed to 16 bytes for all sequencers. And at least one byte is reserved to nodes.
Please refer to [ADR 02 - Encoding](docs/adrs/encoding.md) for details and consequences.
Multi Node Support
The monoton package can be used on single/multiple nodes without the need for
machine coordination. It uses configured node identifier to generate ids by
attaching the node identifier to the end of the sequences.
Extendable
The package comes with three pre-configured sequencers and Sequencer interface
to allow new sequencers.
Included Sequencers and Byte Orderings
The monoton package currently comes with Nanosecond, Millisecond and
Second sequencers. And it uses Millisecond sequencer by default. For each
sequencer, the byte orders are as following:
Second: 16 B => 6 B (seconds) + 6 B (counter) + 4 B (node)
Millisecond: 16 B => 8 B (milliseconds) + 4 B (counter) + 4 B (node)
Nanosecond: 16 B => 11 B (nanoseconds) + 2 B (counter) + 3 B (node)
Please refer to [ADR 03 - Byte Sizes](docs/adrs/byte-sizes.md) for details and consequences.
New Sequencers
The sequencers can be extended for any other time format, sequence format by
implementing the monoton/sequencer.Sequencer interface.
