shortuuid

R-CMD-check CRAN status

The goal of shortuuid is to generate and translate standard UUIDs into shorter - or just different - formats and back. Inspired by short-uuid and a post on fosstodon

Installation

You can install the development version of shortuuid like so:

pak::pak("schochastics/shortuuid")

Example

This package provides functions to generate and convert UUIDs to different formats.

library(shortuuid)
# generate random uuids
ids <- generate_uuid(n = 5)
ids
#> [1] "1fc2d238-b6f2-4959-af5a-ef9950a4141a"
