How to generate unique id in Dart

问题

I write websocket chat. How to generate unique id for user?

now i use this code:

id = new DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch;

is there any more neat solution?

回答1:

1. There is a UUID pub package:

http://pub.dartlang.org/packages/uuid

example usage:

// Generate a v1 (time-based) id
uuid.v1(); // -> '6c84fb90-12c4-11e1-840d-7b25c5ee775a'

// Generate a v4 (random) id
uuid.v4(); // -> '110ec58a-a0f2-4ac4-8393-c866d813b8d1'

// Generate a v5 (namespace-name-sha1-based) id
uuid.v5(uuid.NAMESPACE_URL, 'www.google.com'); // -> 'c74a196f-f19d-5ea9-bffd-a2742432fc9c'

2. This src has a dart GUID generator

https://github.com/MikeMitterer/AndroidIconGenerator.DART/blob/master/lib/src/model/communication/GUIDGen.dart

I'll not post the function src here directly as there is no apparent licence with it, but example usage is as follows:

final String uuid = GUIDGen.generate();
