A Dart package for generating short unique identifiers based on UUIDV4 and converting them back and forth. RFC 4122 compliant.

Features

final uuidv4 = 'd07b31c0-54d9-44d4-993d-ef8101ee1dad';
final shortuid = ShortUid.from_uid(uuidv4);

Convert SID to UUIDv4

import 'package:shortuid/shortuid.dart';

final shortuid = '2n9c';
final uuidv4 = ShortUid.decode_to_uid(shortuid);

Additional Information

This package is designed to play nice with the python : https:/skorokithakis/shortuuid/tree/master and npm package : https://www.npmjs.com/package/short-uuid.

Most packages generated bad shortids that were not compatible with each other, issue is solved by using the same alphabet as the shortuuid python and short-uuid npm pacakge.
