Module usage

The UuidShortener object can be created with/without a prefix.

Example 1: without prefix

from uuid_shortener import UuidShortener
from uuid import uuid4

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print('******** Without prefix')

    shortener = UuidShortener()
    uuid_4 = uuid4()

    short_uuid = shortener.shorten(uuid_4)
    unshortened_uuid = shortener.unshorten(short_uuid)

    print('Uuid to shorten: {}'.format(str(uuid_4)))
    print('shortened uuid: {}'.format(short_uuid))
    print('unshortened uuid(original uuid): {}'.format(str(shortener.unshorten(short_uuid)), str(uuid_4)))

Output 1:

******** Without prefix
Uuid to shorten: 177d1b53-77d5-42b2-8b8f-8d86579deb52
shortened uuid: 3Ueemi554rN46ioLFw3dZG
unshortened uuid(original uuid): 177d1b53-77d5-42b2-8b8f-8d86579deb52

from uuid import uuid4

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print('******** With prefix')

    shortener = UuidShortener('meow')  # ;)
    uuid_4 = uuid4()

    short_uuid = shortener.shorten(uuid_4)
    unshortened_uuid = shortener.unshorten(short_uuid)

    print('Uuid to shorten: {}'.format(str(uuid_4)))
    print('shortened uuid: {}'.format(short_uuid))
    print('unshortened uuid (original uuid): {}'.format(str(shortener.unshorten(short_uuid)), str(uuid_4)))

Output 2:
