An implementation of Discord's version of Twitter's snowflakes in Rust.
use rustflakes::SnowflakeWorker;
fn main() {
let worker_id = 1;
let process_id = 2;
let mut worker = SnowflakeWorker::new(worker_id, process_id);
let snowflake = Snowflake::from(worker.make());
println!("Created snowflake {}", snowflake.flake);
println!("Snowflake created at: {}", snowflake.timestamp);
println!("Snowflake created by worker {}", snowflake.worker_id);
println!("Snowflake created by process {}", snowflake.process_id);
println!("Snowflakes increment is {}", snowflake.increment);
}Snowflakes are structured as defined in the Discord API documentation.
| Field | Bits | Number of Bits | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timestamp | 63 to 22 | 42 bits | Milliseconds since Discord Epoch, the first second of 2015 or 1420070400000. |
| Internal worker ID | 21 to 17 | 5 bits | |
| Internal process ID | 16 to 12 | 5 bits | |
| Increment | 11 to 0 | 12 bits | For every ID that is generated on that process, this number is incremented |
