UUIDv7

A UUID v7 implementation and Ecto.Type for Elixir - based on Rust.

This library defers the UUID v7 implementation to the Rust create UUID using an Erlang NIF. It includes an Ecto.Type to (auto-)generate version 7 UUIDs in Ecto.Schema and beyond.

Thanks to Rust, it is ~72% faster in generating version 7 UUIDs than the Elixir implementation of version 4 UUIDs by Ecto. See the benchmarks for more details.

Installation

The package can be installed by adding uuidv7 to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:uuidv7, "~> 0.2"}]
end

Usage

In your database schema, change primary key attribute from :binary_id to UUIDv7:

def App.Schemas.User do
  @primary_key {:id, UUIDv7, autogenerate: true}
end

Benchmark

Run mix deps.get and then mix run scripts/bench.exs to run the benchmark on your computer.

Credits

This library is based on the Rust library UUID. Thank you!

The Ecto.Type is heavily borrowed from from Ecto. Thanks!
