    encoding and decoding ULIDs in go

      | everybody is identical in their
      | secret unspoken belief that way
      | deep down they are different
      | from everyone else –DFW

    about

    • this is a fork of imdario/go-ulid

    • we represent ULIDs differently
      (not as bytes)

    • for some reason, ULID libraries
      never include decoding
      • why is that?
      • is it our busy millenial lives?

    • anyway this library decodes

    installation

    $ go get github.com/hlian/dilaudid

    usage

    import "github.com/hlian/dilaudid"
    u := dilaudid.NewRandom()
    v, err := dilaudid.Decode("01B1JK8PG4Y5Z1ED14CACZHRBM")

    json support?

    we have MarshalJSON and UnMarshalJSON defined

    binary subspec support?

    • this does not implement the binary
      part of the specification

    • that part of the specification is
      way too complicated (why split a
      timestamp into an int32 and a
      int16 and then MSB each
      part?)

    performance

    $ go test --bench

    but also, who cares
