TypeIDs are a modern, type-safe, globally unique identifier based on the upcoming UUIDv7 standard. They provide a ton of nice properties that make them a great choice as the primary identifiers for your data in a database, APIs, and distributed systems. Read more about TypeIDs in their spec.

This particular implementation provides a C# library for generating and parsing TypeIDs.

using TypeId;

var typeId = TypeId.NewTypeId("prefix");

var typeId = TypeId.Parse("contact_2x4y6z8a0b1c2d3e4f5g6h7j8k");

var typeId = TypeId.NewTypeId("prefix");
var typeIdString = typeId.ToString();
