Hi,

I want to create a subscriber id which should be unique, can we use UUID as subscriber id ?

In general how people are creating unique subscriber id during registration ?

Do we have any ruby gem to get unique id by providing name, date and other parameter as input to the function to get new unique is ?

I also would like to know the pattern to generate ticket id as well, which is used in incident management where each reported incident is a ticket to be resolved.

Thanks.

You could use a UUID for this, but I think that it would probably be a bit overkill.

I would personally just do something like this with SecureRandom.hex (which is part of the ruby core)

        before_create :populate_subscriber_id
        private
        def populate_subscriber_id
          begin
            self.subscriber_id = SecureRandom.hex
          end while self.class.exists?(subscriber_id: subscriber_id)
        end
