# byfuid-nodejs

A Node.js-based BYFUID generation and validation tool that provides both command-line and programmatic interfaces for generating unique identifiers conforming to a specific format.

## Features

- Generate unique identifiers compliant with the BYFUID specification
- Support for custom data input
- Provides both command-line tool and Node.js API
- Includes data validation functionality

## Installation

```bash
npm install byfuid
```

## Usage

### Command Line Usage

```bash
# Generate a BYFUID
byfuid generate

# Generate a BYFUID with custom data
byfuid generate --custom "my-custom-data"

# Validate a BYFUID
byfuid validate <your-byfuid>
```

### Programmatic API Usage

```javascript
const { generateByfuid } = require('byfuid');

// Generate a BYFUID
const myByfuid = generateByfuid();

// Generate a BYFUID with custom data
const myByfuidWithCustom = generateByfuid(null, 'my-custom-data');

// Validate BYFUID length
const isValid = validateByfuidLength(myByfuid);
```

## Architecture Overview

A BYFUID consists of three parts:
1. User Data: a 12-character randomly generated string
2. Timestamp: current time in milliseconds
3. Checksum: a 24-character checksum derived from the user data and timestamp
