Sqids (pronounced "squids") is a small library that lets one generate
YouTube-like unique IDs from numbers. It is good for link shortening,
fast and URL-safe ID generation, and decoding back into numbers for
quicker database lookups.
Good for:
- Generating IDs for public URLs (e.g. link shortening)
- Generating IDs for internal systems (e.g. event tracking)
- Decoding for quicker database lookups (e.g. by primary keys)
Not good for:
- Sensitive data (this is not an encryption library)
- User IDs (can be decoded revealing user count)
