Do I have to keep the generated id's in database, to check for uniqueness? (Question)

[jasan-s]

I will be implementing this in a browser in a client SPA. I wanted to limit the id length to the smallest length , which i think is 7 (how can I set this limit) . I'm just unclear as to how the lib will ensure the uniqueness.

The library uses id's of arbitrary lengths (based on the version, worker id, timestamp, and number of times called that second) and is designed to ensure uniqueness (but see issue #105). Because of this, it is impossible to set a limit while ensuring this attempted guarantee of uniqueness.
