Nano ID

English | Русский | 简体中文
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.
- Fast. It is 2 times faster than UUID.
- 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 19 programming languages.
import { nanoid } from 'nanoid'
model.id = nanoid() //=> "V1StGXR8_Z5jdHi6B-myT"
Supports modern browsers, IE with Babel, Node.js and React Native.
