Package description
@reach/auto-id is a utility package designed to generate unique IDs for React components. This is particularly useful for accessibility purposes, such as associating form inputs with their labels or managing ARIA attributes.
Generate Unique IDs
The `useId` hook generates a unique ID that can be used to associate a label with an input field, ensuring accessibility compliance.
import { useId } from '@reach/auto-id';
function MyComponent() {
const id = useId();
return (
<div>
<label htmlFor={id}>Name:</label>
<input id={id} type="text" />
</div>
);
}
The `react-uid` package provides similar functionality by generating unique IDs for React components. It offers hooks and components to manage unique IDs, making it a good alternative to @reach/auto-id.
The `uuid` package is a more general-purpose library for generating unique identifiers. While not specifically designed for React, it can be used to generate unique IDs in any JavaScript context, including React components.
The `nanoid` package is another general-purpose library for generating unique IDs. It is known for its small size and high performance, making it a good choice for applications that require efficient ID generation.
