Make the starting symbol customizable #57

Closed maberer closed 8 years ago

maberer commented 8 years ago

Would be great to have a way to customize the starting character. It could be given as a parameter to the cuid() function. The "c" could be the default if not given...

If customizable, one could create specific classes of IDs that would allow some backend decisions based on the type of ID received...

In general, it's a bad idea to parse information out of identifiers -- you're really mixing concerns when you do so.

If you really must do something like that, you could easily wrap cuid and concatenate whatever you want to it.

ok thanks, trying to keep them pure.
