| **English** | [Русский](./README.ru.md) | [简体中文](./README.zh-CN.md) | [Bahasa Indonesia](./README.id-ID.md) | |
| A tiny, secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator for JavaScript. | |
| > “An amazing level of senseless perfectionism, | |
| > which is simply impossible not to respect.” | |
| * **Small.** 118 bytes (minified and brotlied). No dependencies. | |
| [Size Limit] controls the size. | |
| * **Safe.** It uses hardware random generator. Can be used in clusters. | |
| * **Short IDs.** It uses a larger alphabet than UUID (`A-Za-z0-9_-`). | |
| So ID size was reduced from 36 to 21 symbols. | |
| * **Portable.** Nano ID was ported | |
| to over [20 programming languages](./README.md#other-programming-languages). | |
| ```js | |
| import { nanoid } from 'nanoid' | |
| model.id = nanoid() //=> "V1StGXR8_Z5jdHi6B-myT" | |
| ``` | |
