README
What
Fork of the original nanoid Nim package.
Why
See this sad display of an issue in the original project. I needed this to work immediately, so I quickly and very dirtily implemented a Windows compatability fix. It's very dirty, but at least it is up to date (does not use deprecated Windows Security functionality) and it actually works on Windows!
This was needed as the original author of an important dependency was not interested in fixing his random library, which is supposed to work on Windows, even though just importing this library makes your program not work on Windows, at all.
How
Get started.
nimble configure
Test run.
nimble test
Where
- Linux
- Windows
- OpenBSD
Goals
Keep it compatible with Windows.
Project Status
At the time of writing, very ugly Windows is implemented, but at least it works precisely the way it is supposed to!
