nanoid.cr

Crystal implementation of original NanoID https://github.com/ai/nanoid

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  nanoid:
    github: mamantoha/nanoid.cr

Usage

require "nanoid"

Nanoid.generate uses URL-friendly symbols (A-Za-z0-9_-) and returns an ID with 21 characters.

Nanoid.generate
# => 3gFI8yZxcfXsXGhB0036l

If you want to reduce ID length (and increase collisions probability), you can pass the length as an argument.

Nanoid.generate(size: 8, alphabet: "1234567890abcdef")
# => 86984b57

Non-secure API is also available.

Nanoid.generate(secure: false)
# => no0MmiInNcBm9jR2_3sGt

Nanoid.generate(size: 10, alphabet: "1234567890abcdef", secure: false)
# => 2793b2351c
