Readme
What's that? Simply uuid/v4, base62-encoded, zero-justified to 22 chars. It looks like "1eCH6Km2kWjIviA5l6q9VN" — made up of only latin letters and numbers. You probably know all about it already.
Looking around, the packages I found seemed shady. Or maybe it was NIH.
const {Iid} = require("iid") // Or `import {Iid} from "iid"`
say = console.log
const iid = Iid()
say(iid)
const uuid = Iid.toUuid(iid)
say(uuid)
const iid2 = Iid.fromUuid(uuid)
say(iid2)
say(iid === iid2)
Example output:
1eCH6Km2kWjIviA5l6q9VN
