# Carreta ID
|
|||
|
|
Random user-friendly id for distubuted system for personal data.
|
|||
|
|
## Examples
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- `123` : shortest version
|
|||
|
|
- `456-789` : default size, still user freindly and sufficient randomness (for personal data)
|
|||
|
|
- `abc-def-ghj` : long version. alphabets except i, l and o are also valid
|
|||
|

## Perpose
|
|||
|
|
When I considering implementing IDs for users(not for internal system) to specify items, such as GitHub commit hashes or issue numbers, the following issues arose.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Sequential numbers like Git issues are difficult to implement in distributes systems because collitions are unavoidable.
|
|||
|
|
- Random number like UUID is too long for users
|
|||
|
|
- Short random number like 7-digit commit hash seems good but is is not standardized specification.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So I decided to make my own ID specifications.
