A Kotlin Multiplatform port of this JavaScript library, providing a fast, secure and URL-friendly unique ID generator.

🎯 Supported Targets

The following targets are supported:

Platform	Targets
JVM & Android	jvm, android
Apple	ios, macos, tvos, watchos
Web	js, wasmJs
Native & Other	linux, mingw

✨ Features

NanoId comes with several features while beeing fully customizable.

🔒 Secure

NanoId uses Korlibs Crypto SecureRandom to generate cryptographically strong random IDs with a proper distribution of characters.

Crypto provides a SecureRandom class that extends the kotlin.random.Random class, but generating cryptographic secure values.

• It uses SecureRandom on the JVM + PRNGFixes on Android.
• On Native POSIX (including Linux, macOS, iOS) it uses /dev/urandom
• On Windows BCryptGenRandom is in use

📦 Compact

NanoId generates compact IDs with just 21 characters.

By using a larger alphabet than UUID, NanoId can generate a greater number of unique IDs, when compared to UUID, with fewer characters (21 vs 36).

🖌️ Customizable

NanoId is fully customizable.

All default options may be overridden. Supply your own Random Number Generator, alphabet or size.
