- Safe. It uses cryptographically strong random APIs and tests distribution of symbols.
- Compact. It uses a larger alphabet than UUID
(A-Za-z0-9_-). So ID size was reduced from 36 to 21 symbols.
id, err := nanoid.New() //> "i25_rX9zwDdDn7Sg-ZoaH"
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}Once Go is installed, run the following command to get Nano ID.
