🌹 @sharyn/nanoid

A Nano ID default configuration with no lookalikes (0, O, 1, l, I), and without - and _.

To have a risk of collision similar to UUID v4 (149 billion years at 1000 IDs per hour for 1% collision risk on Nano ID Collision Calculator), use a length of 22 (334 billion years), or 21 (44 billion years). The default length used here is 20 (6 billion years), for the only reason that it's a nicer round number, while remaining extremely collision-safe. The age of Earth being 4.5 billion years, I think we're good here.

Installation

npm install --save @sharyn/nanoid

import id from '@sharyn/nanoid'
