Snowflake ID Generator for C#

Overview

This library provides a simple and thread-safe Snowflake ID generator for C#. Snowflake IDs are unique, distributed, time-sortable identifiers. This is particularly useful for distributed systems where you cannot guarantee uniqueness of IDs generated independently at multiple locations.

Features

* Thread-safe: Generate IDS concurently without conflicts.
* Customizable: Set custom worket and data center IDs.
* Time-sortable: IDs can be sorted by the time of teir generation.

Installation

You can download the package from NuGet:

Install-package SnowflakeIdGeneratorForCsharp

Or add it directly to your project file:

<PackageReference Include="SnowflakeIdGeneratorForCsharp" Version="x.x.x" />

Usage

var idGenerator = new SnowflakeIdGenerator(1, 1);
long uniqueId = idGenerator.CreateId();

Configuration

You can customize worker and data center IDs during the initialization of the SnowflakeIdGenerator:

var idGenerator1 = new SnowflakeIdGenerator(1, 1); // for the first server
var idGenerator2 = new SnowflakeIdGenerator(2, 1); // for the second server
var idGenerator3 = new SnowflakeIdGenerator(1, 2); // for a server in a different data center
