Shorten a uuid into a URL friendly format.
Project description
uuid_shortener
uuid_shortener is a library for shortening UUIDs into an alphanumerical format suitable for usage in URLs.
The alphanumerical format is Flicker base 58 encoding.
Installation
from Pypi:
pip install uuid-shortener-py
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(f'Uuid to shorten: {uuid_4}') print(f'shortened uuid: {short_uuid}') print(f'unshortened uuid(original uuid): {shortener.unshorten(short_uuid)}')
Output 1:
******** Without prefix
Uuid to shorten: 177d1b53-77d5-42b2-8b8f-8d86579deb52
shortened uuid: 3Ueemi554rN46ioLFw3dZG
unshortened uuid(original uuid): 177d1b53-77d5-42b2-8b8f-8d86579deb52
Example 2: with prefix
from uuid_shortener import UuidShortener 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(f'Uuid to shorten: {uuid_4}') print(f'shortened uuid: {short_uuid}') print(f'unshortened uuid (original uuid): {shortener.unshorten(short_uuid)}')
Output 2:
******** With prefix
Uuid to shorten: 2bea23d4-2b96-485d-8788-0c606ab93319
shortened uuid: meow-6qwbaCZnHtxJsj4uJTKJSV
unshortened uuid (original uuid): 2bea23d4-2b96-485d-8788-0c606ab93319
As an easy, one-way generator
from uuid_shortener import ShortUuidGenerator from uuid import uuid4 if __name__ == "__main__": print('******** Generator') uuid_gen = ShortUuidGenerator(prefix='meow', uuid=uuid4) print('Shortened uuid 1: {}'.format( uuid_gen() )) print('Shortened uuid 2: {}'.format( uuid_gen() ))
Output 3:
******** Generator
Shortened uuid 1: meow-9ubC52uXU1MM9PcrUMaNNc
Shortened uuid 2: meow-wqTnxvHfWzrPvREcVi5RAf
