build-number-generator is a utility that creates unique, human-readable build numbers for software projects. These nine-digit integers encode the build date (YYMMDD) and a count of two-minute intervals after midnight (CCC), ensuring uniqueness for builds at least two minutes apart. The current stable version is 3.0.0, released on 2025-06-26. The package offers both a command-line interface and an API for programmatic use in Node.js, Deno, and web browsers, supporting ESM, CJS, and UMD formats. Key differentiators include its no-dependency footprint, tiny size, and the ability to infer the build time directly from the number without external storage, making it suitable for CI/CD environments. It ships with full TypeScript types.
