Nano ID
A tiny, secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator for JavaScript.
“An amazing level of senseless perfectionism, which is simply impossible not to respect.”
- Small. 130 bytes (minified and gzipped). No dependencies. Size Limit controls the size.
- Safe. It uses hardware random generator. Can be used in clusters.
-
Short IDs. It uses a larger alphabet than UUID (
A-Za-z0-9_-
). So ID size was reduced from 36 to 21 symbols. - Portable. Nano ID was ported to over 20 programming languages.
import { nanoid } from 'nanoid'
model.id = nanoid() //=> "V1StGXR8_Z5jdHi6B-myT"
