@types/nanoid

What is @types/nanoid?

@types/nanoid provides TypeScript type definitions for the nanoid library, which is a small, secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator.

What are @types/nanoid's main functionalities?

Generate a unique ID

Generates a unique ID using the default settings of nanoid.

import { nanoid } from 'nanoid';
const id = nanoid();
console.log(id);

Generate a custom length ID

Generates a unique ID with a custom length of 10 characters.

import { nanoid } from 'nanoid';
const id = nanoid(10);
console.log(id);

Generate a custom alphabet ID

Generates a unique ID using a custom alphabet and length.

import { customAlphabet } from 'nanoid';
const alphabet = '1234567890abcdef';
const nanoid = customAlphabet(alphabet, 10);
const id = nanoid();
console.log(id);

Other packages similar to @types/nanoid

uuid

The uuid package is a popular library for generating UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers). Unlike nanoid, which generates shorter, URL-friendly IDs, uuid generates longer, standardized UUIDs. It is widely used for its compliance with UUID standards.

shortid

The shortid package is another library for generating short, unique, non-sequential IDs. It is similar to nanoid in terms of generating short IDs, but it is less secure and not as performant as nanoid.

cuid

The cuid package generates collision-resistant IDs optimized for horizontal scaling and performance. It is designed to be more secure and collision-resistant than shortid, but the IDs are longer compared to those generated by nanoid.

nanoid provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/nanoid installed!
