defmodule Nanoid do
  @moduledoc """
  Elixir port of NanoID ([https://github.com/ai/nanoid](https://github.com/ai/nanoid)), a tiny, secure URL-friendly unique string ID generator.

  **Safe.** It uses cryptographically strong random APIs and guarantees a proper distribution of symbols.

  **Compact.** It uses a larger alphabet than UUID (A-Za-z0-9_-) and has a similar number of unique IDs in just 21 symbols instead of 36.
