Import github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/id and call NewNanoID directly. See the comparison below for the standard library equivalent.

Standard library alternative

gox wraps the Go standard library or a trusted dependency with Node-familiar naming. You can use the underlying library directly — see the package overview for escape hatches.
