Focus on performance
Add unittests, typings, docs
Great. Before I provide the detailed tasks, I have a few clarifying questions to ensure the plan is perfectly tailored to your needs. The choices you make will affect the implementation details, especially regarding performance and precision.
Clock Source:
Option A: Date.now(): This is simple and widely supported, but its millisecond precision might not be sufficient for very high-frequency ID generation. If multiple IDs are requested within the same millisecond, you'll need a mechanism to ensure uniqueness, likely by incrementing a counter.
Option B: process.hrtime.bigint() (Node.js) or performance.now() (Browser): These provide nanosecond-level precision, virtually eliminating the need for a separate counter for uniqueness, but require handling a BigInt for the timestamp. This is more complex but offers greater accuracy.
Base64URL Encoding Library:
Option A: Rely on a widely-used, battle-tested library: Using a library like base64url ensures correctness and handles edge cases, but introduces an external dependency.
Option B: Implement a custom Base64URL encoder/decoder: This removes external dependencies and allows for maximum performance optimization (e.g., using Uint8Array and TextEncoder), but requires careful, low-level implementation to avoid bugs.
Uniqueness and Counter:
Option A: Simple sequential counter: A standard counter works well for low-to-medium frequency ID generation.
Option B: Randomness as a counter: For high-frequency, decentralized systems, using a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number for the counter portion can prevent collisions without requiring a shared state. However, it's slightly less performant.
Bit Packing:
Option A: Standard bit-wise operations: This is the most common and robust approach.
Option B: DataView API: This can be more readable and is designed for manipulating binary data buffers, but might have a small performance overhead compared to direct bit-wise operations.
Please let me know your preferences for these options. Once I have your answers, I can create a highly detailed and precise task list.
1 Option B
2 Option B: Implement a custom Base64URL encoder/decoder
3 Option B: Randomness as a counter
4 Option A
Result promt by GEMINI:
Phase 1: Core ID Generation Logic
This phase focuses on creating the fundamental 64-bit ID in binary format before any encoding. The core challenge is handling BigInt and correctly packing bits for performance.
Task 1: Generate the 48-bit Timestamp
Objective: Extract a high-resolution, 48-bit timestamp that represents milliseconds.
Steps:
Utilize process.hrtime.bigint() to get a high-resolution timestamp in nanoseconds as a BigInt.
Convert this nanosecond BigInt into milliseconds. Be cautious with the conversion factor and potential precision loss.
Truncate or mask the resulting millisecond value to fit within a 48-bit integer. This is a critical step, as the hrtime value can grow larger than 48 bits over time. The ID's design is limited to this size, which means the generator will stop producing unique timestamps after approximately 8900 years. Ensure the bit-wise operation & is used to enforce this 48-bit constraint.
Nuisances & Considerations:
The conversion from nanoseconds to milliseconds must be handled correctly with BigInt division.
A 48-bit number can be represented by 6 bytes. This must be a specific part of your final byte array structure.
Task 2: Generate the 16-bit Random Counter
Objective: Create a cryptographically secure, 16-bit random number to ensure uniqueness.
Steps:
Use crypto.randomBytes(2) to generate a Buffer containing two cryptographically secure random bytes.
This 2-byte buffer directly represents the 16-bit random counter. No further masking or manipulation is strictly necessary, as crypto.randomBytes returns a number of the specified length.
Nuisances & Considerations:
Using crypto.randomBytes is crucial for security and unpredictability, which is the core of "randomness as a counter."
This value must be re-generated on every single ID creation to ensure no two IDs generated in the same millisecond are identical.
Task 3: Combine and Pack the Components
Objective: Merge the 48-bit timestamp and 16-bit counter into a single 64-bit buffer (8 bytes).
Steps:
Initialize a new Uint8Array of size 8. This will be the final binary representation of the ID.
Using bit-wise operations (>> and &), shift the 48-bit timestamp BigInt and place its 6 bytes into the first 6 positions of the Uint8Array. Start with the most significant byte of the timestamp and move down to the least significant.
Place the 2 bytes of the random counter into the last 2 positions of the Uint8Array.
Nuisances & Considerations:
The correct order of bytes (endianness) is crucial for lexicographical sorting. The most significant byte of the timestamp must be at index 0, followed by the rest of the timestamp bytes, and then the random bytes.
The developer must handle the BigInt to a standard number conversion if needed, or work with it entirely using BigInt operations to prevent overflow. BigInt and standard number bit-wise operations do not mix.
Phase 2: Custom Base64URL Encoding
This phase is dedicated to implementing the custom encoding and decoding logic to avoid external dependencies.
Task 4: Implement a Custom Base64URL Encoder
Objective: Convert the 8-byte Uint8Array from Phase 1 into a Base64URL string.
Steps:
Create a constant lookup string or array for the Base64URL alphabet (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, -, _).
Iterate over the input Uint8Array in chunks of 3 bytes.
For each 3-byte chunk, perform bit-wise operations to extract four 6-bit values.
Use these 6-bit values as indices to look up the corresponding characters in the Base64URL alphabet.
Append these four characters to the result string.
Handle edge cases where the input byte array is not a multiple of 3. This will require adding = padding. The standard Base64URL format requires omitting this padding, so the implementation must check for it and remove it.
Nuisances & Considerations:
Performance is critical. Using a pre-computed lookup array is much faster than switch statements or conditional logic.
The core difference between Base64 and Base64URL is the character set (- and _ vs. + and /) and the omission of trailing padding (=).
Task 5: Implement a Custom Base64URL Decoder
Objective: Reverse the process, converting a Base64URL string back into an 8-byte Uint8Array.
Steps:
Create a reverse lookup map or array for the Base64URL characters. This is a crucial performance optimization.
Iterate over the input Base64URL string in chunks of 4 characters.
Use the reverse lookup to get the corresponding 6-bit values.
Perform bit-wise operations to pack these four 6-bit values back into a 3-byte Uint8Array.
Handle the case of partial chunks at the end of the string.
Nuisances & Considerations:
The lookup map must correctly handle the _ and - characters.
The decoder must be resilient to inputs that do or do not include padding, as the standard allows for its omission.
Phase 3: Integration, Testing & Documentation
This final phase brings all the components together, ensuring the solution is robust, well-documented, and testable.
Task 6: Create the Main Generator Function
Objective: Expose a single, public API for generating the IDs.
Steps:
Create a function, for example, generateId(), which calls the component functions from Phases 1 and 2 in the correct order.
The function should:
Call the timestamp generator (Task 1).
Call the random counter generator (Task 2).
Pack them into a Uint8Array (Task 3).
Encode the result into a Base64URL string (Task 4).
The function should return the final, encoded string.
Nuisances & Considerations:
The function should be an async function if crypto.webcrypto.getRandomValues() is used, or a synchronous function if crypto.randomBytes() is used. Be explicit about the choice and its implications.
Task 7: Add Unit Tests
Objective: Validate all aspects of the implementation.
Steps:
Write a test to verify that the generated IDs are unique even when generated in rapid succession (e.g., in a loop of 1 million IDs).
Write a test to ensure the generated IDs are lexicographically sortable, which means that an ID created later will always sort after an ID created earlier.
Write tests to ensure that the Base64URL encoding and decoding functions are reversible (i.e., decode(encode(id)) === id).
Test the performance of the generator under a high-load benchmark to confirm it meets performance expectations.
Nuisances & Considerations:
Lexicographical sorting is a key feature of UUIDv7, so this test is crucial.
The performance test should be done in a separate file or with a testing framework that can handle benchmarks.
Task 8: Add Typings and Documentation
Objective: Make the code easy to use and maintain.
Steps:
Provide TypeScript typings (.d.ts file) for all public functions, especially for the generateId() function.
Use JSDoc comments for all functions and parameters. The documentation should explain the purpose, parameters, and return value of each function.
Add a high-level README.md file explaining the ID format, performance characteristics, and usage examples.
Nuisances & Considerations:
Good documentation is essential for a professional developer. It prevents others from making incorrect assumptions about the code's behavior.
The JSDoc comments should be detailed enough for a developer to understand the function's purpose without reading the code.
