LexiVersion type

A LexiVersion is a lexicographically sortable representation of numbers from 0 to Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER (which is the safe range of Version values used in Zero).

The Version is first encoded in base36, and then prepended by a single base36 character representing the length (of the base36 version) minus 1. This encoding can encode numbers up to 185 bits, with the maximum encoded number being "z".repeat(37), or 36^36-1 (approximately 1.0638735892371651e+56).

Examples: * 0 => "00" * 10 => "0a" * 35 => "0z" * 36 => "110" * 46655 => "2zzz" * 2^64 => "c3w5e11264sgsg"

Note that when using the number type, the library will assert if attempting to encode a Version larger than Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. For large numbers, use the bigint type.

Signature:

type LexiVersion = string;
