### Django ShortUUIDField Example

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Provides an example of integrating the ShortUUIDField into a Django model for primary keys or other fields.

```python
from shortuuid.django_fields import ShortUUIDField

class MyModel(models.Model):
    # A primary key ID of length 16 and a short alphabet.
    id = ShortUUIDField(
        length=16,
        max_length=40,
        prefix="id_",
        alphabet="abcdefg1234",
        dont_sort_alphabet=False
        primary_key=True,
    )

    # A short UUID of length 22 and the default alphabet.
    api_key = ShortUUIDField()
```

### Command-line UUID Generation

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Shows how to generate a short UUID directly from the command line using the installed shortuuid package.

```bash
$ shortuuid
fZpeF6gcskHbSpTgpQCkcJ
```

--------------------------------

### Get and Set Alphabet

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to retrieve the current alphabet used for UUID generation and how to set a custom alphabet.

```python
>>> shortuuid.get_alphabet()
'23456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz'

>>> shortuuid.set_alphabet("aaaaabcdefgh1230123")
>>> shortuuid.uuid()
'0agee20aa1hehebcagddhedddc0d2chhab3b'
```

--------------------------------

### Import and Generate Short UUID

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to import the shortuuid library and generate a default short UUID.

```python
>>> import shortuuid
>>> shortuuid.uuid()
'vytxeTZskVKR7C7WgdSP3d'
```

--------------------------------

### Generate Version 5 Short UUID

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Shows how to generate a version 5 UUID using a provided name or namespace.

```python
>>> shortuuid.uuid(name="example.com")
'exu3DTbj2ncsn9tLdLWspw'

>>> shortuuid.uuid(name="<http://example.com>")
'shortuuid.uuid(name="<http://example.com>")'
```

--------------------------------

### Encode and Decode UUIDs with Legacy Support in Python

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to encode and decode UUID strings using the shortuuid library. It emphasizes the use of `legacy=True` in the `decode` function for compatibility with older UUID formats and shows the recommended way to convert UUIDs to strings for future compatibility.

```Python
>>> new_uuid_str = encode(decode(old_uuid_str, legacy=True))
```

--------------------------------

### Class-based ShortUUID Usage

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates using the ShortUUID class to manage different alphabets per thread or instance.

```python
>>> su = shortuuid.ShortUUID(alphabet="01345678")
>>> su.uuid()
'034636353306816784480643806546503818874456'

>>> su.get_alphabet()
'01345678'

>>> su.set_alphabet("21345687654123456")
>>> su.get_alphabet()
'12345678'
```

--------------------------------

### Generate Random String

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Illustrates generating a cryptographically secure random string of a specified length using os.urandom().

```python
>>> shortuuid.ShortUUID().random(length=22)
'RaF56o2r58hTKT7AYS9doj'
```

--------------------------------

### Encode and Decode UUIDs

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Shows how to serialize standard Python UUID objects into shortuuid strings and deserialize them back.

```python
>>> import uuid
>>> u = uuid.uuid4()
>>> u
UUID('6ca4f0f8-2508-4bac-b8f1-5d1e3da2247a')

>>> s = shortuuid.encode(u)
>>> s
'MLpZDiEXM4VsUryR9oE8uc'

>>> shortuuid.decode(s) == u
True

>>> short = s[:7]
>>> short
'MLpZDiE'

>>> h = shortuuid.decode(short)
UUID('00000000-0000-0000-0000-009a5b27f8b9')

>>> shortuuid.decode(shortuuid.encode(h)) == h
True
```

--------------------------------

### Alphabet Sorting Control

Source: https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid/blob/master/README.md

Explains how to prevent the alphabet from being sorted when using set_alphabet() for compatibility with other implementations.

```python
>>> shortuuid.set_alphabet("aaaaabcdefgh1230123", dont_sort_alphabet=True)
>>> shortuuid.get_alphabet()
'abcdefgh1230'
```
