Use hashids for event identifier

[iamareebjamal]

https://github.com/davidaurelio/hashids-python

This enables us to decode event ID without a database hit in future

@iamareebjamal Do we need to implement hashid in here

open-event-server/app/models/event.py

Line 29 in 496e2e2

def get_new_event_identifier(length=8):

?

[iamareebjamal]

Yes

[codedsun]

Taking this up!

[codedsun]

@iamareebjamal Do we need to remove the previous implementation to get the previous id or do we encode this id with hashid and where do we have to save this?

[iamareebjamal]

For now, this will just change the get_new_identifier function which will take id as input

[codedsun]

@iamareebjamal But how can we pass id here?

open-event-server/app/api/data_layers/EventCopyLayer.py

Line 47 in 496e2e2

event.identifier = get_new_event_identifier()

and

open-event-server/app/api/event_copy.py

Line 62 in 496e2e2

event.identifier = get_new_event_identifier()

[iamareebjamal]

Yes, it needs to be thought about how identifier can be generated

@codedsun is this issue still relevant?
