IDoji

What if you could combine the magical fun of emojis and the unique uniqueness power of UUIDs.

What if you had a format to label objects, so powerful and elegant, that you enjoy sending those over your favorite messenger.

What if you had a small python package, providing you all of that and much more.

Welcome to IDoji.

Installation

Installation can be done via pip

pip3 install idoji

Usage

IDoji can be used as a superior alternative to UUIDs. Common functionality provided by UUIDs can be found in IDojis, as well as facilities to mix both types or convert between them.

Instantiate them

It is possible to instantiate a completely random IDoji as well as using values of the type str, int or even UUID.

>>> from idoji import IDoji
>>> idoj = IDoji()
>>> print(idoj)
🦟🦄😗😅-🥽🦄-🙌🦩-🥳🥱-🧊🥖-🤭🦝🦲😒

It is also possible to use existing UUIDs in several forms.

>>> from uuid import uuid4
>>> uuidval = uuid4()
>>> print(uuidval)
e4f4d80c-01f4-4504-b18b-6061bb619aa3
>>> idoj_from_uuid = IDoji(uuidval)
>>> print(idoj_from_uuid)
🦳🧃🦧😌-😁🧃-🙅😄-🦀🥙-🤜🤝-🦊🤝🥨🥱
>>> repr(idoj_from_uuid)
"IDoji('e4f4d80c-01f4-4504-b18b-6061bb619aa3')"
>>> idoj_from_uuid_str = IDoji("e4f4d80c-01f4-4504-b18b-6061bb619aa3")
>>> print(idoj_from_uuid_str)
🦳🧃🦧😌-😁🧃-🙅😄-🦀🥙-🤜🤝-🦊🤝🥨🥱

And of course, if you get an IDoji string from somewhere, you can use that to instantiate an object as well.

>>> idoj = IDoji("🦳🧃🦧😌-😁🧃-🙅😄-🦀🥙-🤜🤝-🦊🤝🥨🥱")
>>> print(idoj)
🦳🧃🦧😌-😁🧃-🙅😄-🦀🥙-🤜🤝-🦊🤝🥨🥱
>>> repr(idoj)
"IDoji('e4f4d80c-01f4-4504-b18b-6061bb619aa3')"

Compare them

IDojis can be compared against each other as well as UUIDs.

Comparison against IDoji objects as well as their string representation is available.

>>> idoj = IDoji()
>>> idoj_same = IDoji(idoj.uuid)
>>> idoj_diff = IDoji()
>>> print("{} -- {} -- {}".format(idoj, idoj_same, idoj_diff))
🤪🦞🤳🥔-🦏🥎-🙄🦣-🦌😶-😨😯-🦹🦣😄🥞 -- 🤪🦞🤳🥔-🦏🥎-🙄🦣-🦌😶-😨😯-🦹🦣😄🥞 -- 🦪🤜🦒🦵-🤏🧃-🙋🥓-🥟🥧-🦁🦹-🥪😎🧡🦗
>>> idoj == idoj_same
True
>>> idoj == idoj_diff
False
>>> idoj == "🤪🦞🤳🥔-🦏🥎-🙄🦣-🦌😶-😨😯-🦹🦣😄🥞"
True
>>> idoj == "🦪🤜🦒🦵-🤏🧃-🙋🥓-🥟🥧-🦁🦹-🥪😎🧡🦗"
False

Also comparison against UUIDs and their string representation is possible as well.

>>> uuidval = uuid4()
>>> print(uuidval)
627adf41-739a-4b5a-b727-d8add4124884
>>> idoj_from_uuid = IDoji(uuidval)
>>> idoj_from_uuid == uuidval
True
>>> idoj_from_uuid == "627adf41-739a-4b5a-b727-d8add4124884"
True
