(Go) Generate Monotonic ULIDs

See more ULID/UUID Examples

Generate a sequence of monotonic ULIDs all using the same seed time. This code sample generates a series of ULIDs with continuously increasing values.

Important: Chilkat's ULID functionality was introduced in v9.5.0.94.

    seedDt := chilkat.NewCkDateTime()

    // You can set the seed time to any desired value.
    // In this example, the seed time is set to the current system date/time.
    seedDt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()

    // Generate the 1st ULID in the series.
    // (i.e. the current UTC UNIX-time)
    utc := true
    ulid := seedDt.UlidGenerate(utc)
    fmt.Println(*ulid)

    // Store the ULID in a Chilkat StringBuilder to generate the series.
    sbUlid := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    sbUlid.Append(*ulid)

    i := 0
    for i < 50 {
        seedDt.UlidIncrement(sbUlid)
        fmt.Println(*sbUlid.GetAsString())
        i = i + 1
    }
