NanoID Async Generator

About

NanoID can be used in async contexts. While the core library is synchronous, you can wrap it in async functions for use in async/await patterns. This is useful when generating IDs as part of larger async operations, when you need to integrate with async APIs, or when you want to use NanoID within Promise chains. The async wrapper pattern allows NanoID to fit seamlessly into modern async JavaScript workflows.

Use Cases

• •Async/await code patterns
• •Promise chains and async workflows
• •Integration with async database operations
• •Async API handlers
• •Modern JavaScript async patterns
• •When ID generation is part of larger async operations

How to Generate

import { nanoid } from 'nanoid';

// Wrap in async function
async function generateAsync() {
  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 0));
  return nanoid();
}

const id = await generateAsync();
