This package is Go implementation of ai's nanoid!

Safe. It uses cryptographically strong random generator.

Compact. It uses more symbols than UUID (A-Za-z0-9_-) and has the same number of unique options in just 22 symbols instead of 36.

Fast. Nanoid is as fast as UUID but can be used in URLs.

There's also this alternative: https://github.com/jaevor/go-nanoid.

Via go get tool

$ go get github.com/matoous/go-nanoid/v2

Generate ID

id, err := gonanoid.New()

Generate ID with a custom alphabet and length

id, err := gonanoid.Generate("abcde", 54)
