Implement Unique File Identifier Generation Utility

Description

Task

Create unique file identifier generation utility

Acceptance Criteria

• Function generates unique identifiers
• Identifiers are 4-64 characters long
• Identifiers are cryptographically random
• Validation function correctly identifies valid and invalid identifiers
• Throws error for invalid length parameters

Summary of Work

This pull request introduces a robust utility for generating and validating unique file identifiers in our CDN management system.

Key Implementation Details:

• Created generateFileIdentifier() function using Node.js crypto module
• Implemented cryptographically secure random byte generation
• Added input validation for identifier length
• Ensured hexadecimal output for compatibility and readability
• Created isValidFileIdentifier() for identifier validation

Core Features:

• Generates unique identifiers between 4-64 characters
• Uses cryptographically secure random bytes
• Provides flexible length configuration (default 16 characters)
• Implements strict validation rules
• Prevents potential identifier conflicts

Future Considerations:

• Could be extended to support additional identifier generation strategies
• Potential integration with distributed systems for global uniqueness
• Supports seamless replacement of identifier generation method

Changes Made

• Implemented generateFileIdentifier() function
• Added isValidFileIdentifier() validation method
• Used crypto.randomBytes for secure identifier generation
• Implemented length validation
• Created hexadecimal identifier output

Tests

• Verify identifier generation works with default length
• Check identifier generation with custom length
• Test identifier validation with valid inputs
• Validate error handling for invalid length
• Ensure unique identifier generation
