Top 9 uuidv7 Open-Source Projects

typeid

15 2,744 8.2 Go

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs

Project mention: ULIDs and Primary Keys | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-12

I’ve seen this sort of design referred to as “typed IDs”: https://github.com/jetify-com/typeid
Doesn’t use the crockford encoding, but does is another one that minimises confusables.

pg_uuidv7

4 232 7.4 C

A tiny Postgres extension to create version 7 UUIDs

Project mention: Shrink UUIDs with PostgreSQL or Ruby | dev.to | 2024-02-23

Unfortunately, as of PostgreSQL 16, UUIDv7 are not yet supported out of the box. For the time being, use an extension such as pg_uuidv7 or pg_idkit to generate UUIDv7 e.g. as default primary key when you CREATE new records.

typeid-js

1 207 5.9 TypeScript

TypeScript implementation of TypeIDs: type-safe, K-sortable, and globally unique identifiers inspired by Stripe IDs

Project mention: Adding type safety to object IDs in TypeScript | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-30

If you want a type-prefixed UUIDv7 type, I can wholeheartedly recommend TypeID-JS: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid-js
Also available for a whole bunch of other languages: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid
UUIDv7 is UUIDv4-compatible (i.e. you can put a v7 UUID anywhere a v4 UUID would go, like in Postgres's UUID datatype) and is time-series sortable, so you don't lose that nice lil' benefit of auto-incrementing IDs.
And if you use something like TypeORM to define your entities, you can use a Transformer to save as plain UUIDv7 in the DB (so you can use UUID datatypes, not strings), but deal with them as type-prefixed strings everywhere else:

typeid-go

2 101 7.0 Go

Go implementation of TypeIDs: type-safe, K-sortable, and globally unique identifiers inspired by Stripe IDs

Project mention: Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-28

We've now implemented pretty thorough testing: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid-go/blob/main/typeid_tes...
Thanks for the feedback!

uuid6-python

1 92 7.0 Python

New time-based UUID formats which are suited for use as a database key
uuid-utils

1 77 7.1 Python

Python bindings to Rust UUID
typeid-sql

2 67 5.6 PLpgSQL

SQL implementation TypeIDs: type-safe, K-sortable, and globally unique identifiers inspired by Stripe IDs

Project mention: Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-28

The authors have created a specialisation for Postgres that leverages a custom type which is a tuple of type and uuidv7: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid-sql/blob/main/sql/typei...
This is more optimal for Postgres while making it slightly more difficult to interop between the db and the language (db driver needs to handle custom types, and you need to inject a custom type converter).
And while there are hacks you can do to make storing uuid-alikes as strings less terrible for db engines, if you want the best performance and smallest space consumption (compressed or not) make sure to use native ID types or convert to BINARY/numeric types.
