This project is no longer maintained by Turbine Labs, which has shut down.

The idgen project defines an ID type, and the IDGen type, which can be used to generate IDs. It also defines several IDGen implementations, including UUID and counter-based.

• Go 1.9 or later (previous versions may work, but we don't build or test against them)

The idgen project has no external dependencies; the tests depend on our test package. It should always be safe to use HEAD of all master branches of Turbine Labs open source projects together, or to vendor them with the same git tag.

Additionally, we vendor github.com/nu7hatch/gouuid. This should be considered an opaque implementation detail, see Vendoring for more discussion.
