Snowflake support

Yo (english isnt my native lang)
So I am planning to use snowflake id's in my own app, and I decided to use your package (

@sapphire/snowflake

@sapphire/snowflake

) because it looks the best one (found it from djs).
While researching the snowflake id's, as far as I understand, the worker id is included in the snowflake so there wont be any dublicates.
And while I was browsing your code, I saw the options

workerId

workerId

and

processId

processId

, how to use them? I mean, the backend is just expressjs, without workers or anything, i am planning to run a single instance on vps using pm2, or maybe use pm2 to create workers? so, i know that these options are optional, but still, how to use them? when should i use them?

Solution

You should use them if you have multiple processes, for example in a sharded bot
