A tiny, secure, URL-friendly, unique聽string ID聽generator for聽JavaScript.

> 鈥淎n amazing level of senseless perfectionism,
> which is simply impossible not to respect.鈥�

* **Small.** 130 bytes (minified and gzipped). No聽dependencies.
  [Size Limit] controls the size.
* **Safe.** It uses hardware random generator. Can be used in clusters.
* **Short IDs.** It uses a聽larger alphabet than UUID (`A-Za-z0-9_-`).
  So ID size was reduced from聽36聽to聽21聽symbols.
* **Portable.** Nano ID was ported
  to [20 programming languages](./README.md#other-programming-languages).

```js
import { nanoid } from 'nanoid'
