DEPRECATED WONT WORK UINT32 not large enough to make this happen.
Some open source vector libraries like qdrant, are limited in the sense that an ID must be an (unsigned) integer or UUID.
This makes it very difficult to upsert to the respective vector, without first filtering for it. This method converts words deterministically via letters to numbers, so that can upsert deterministically in a setting where ID can be numbers only.
import { stringToId } from '@razroo/string-to-id';
const orgId = 'abc; // a === 1, b === 2, c === 3
const workspaceId = 'xyz' // x === 24, y === 25, z === 26
const itemNumber = 123; // does not change as a number already
const resultId = stringToId([orgId, workspaceId, itemNumber]);
// space between letters is 0
// space between words is 00 or 000
// all words have a trailing 00 or 000
// Note: trailing zeros instead of leading zeros used to avoid octal zero errors
// trailing 00 means it's numbers and stay as is(needed if id is a singular letter, or if we want to keep a number to be considered as text e.g. 'v0' or 'auth0')
// trailing 000 means it's words and idToString funcition should change to a word
// result = 102030002402502600012300
// So now you would be able to do something like
client.upsert('org-data', {
points: [{
id: resultId,
//...npm install @razroo/string-to-id --save;
