Anano

Another nanoID implementation for Nim.

This implementation is based off of nim-neoid but - uses more compile time code to give massive speedups (This comes with the tradeoff though that you can't define options at runtime). - Only uses the nim standard library

Works on c, c++ and js backends

Main reason I built this was so I could learn how the ID was generated but also make it generate an array[byte] instead so I could better store it in a database for another project of mine

Warning I am not a security expert and this has not be vetted. Use this at your own risk

Usage

import anano

let id = genNanoID()
echo id
