Problem
Nanoids can vary in length, while they are mainly 21 characters in length some may be larger. For example the npm package 'nanoid' allows developers to generate ids at any length so it would be nice to have that built into zod.
Ideal solution
const goodNanoid = "MJBTltG6zIHelSq42cz51j_lESP7YSD_lLoOG4y_hsikIfCI403gLw6oJnreQW7u"
const badNanoid = "xv02pdYYi8Tb1SF1WjfSe" // bad because the nanoid's length is expected to be 64 characters
const schema = z.string().nanoid(64)
const goodNanoidResult = schema.safeParseAsync(goodNanoid)
const badNanoidResult = schema.safeParseAsync(badNanoid)
console.log(goodNanoidResult.success) // should be true
console.log(badNanoidResult.success) // should be false
Work around
const goodNanoid = "MJBTltG6zIHelSq42cz51j_lESP7YSD_lLoOG4y_hsikIfCI403gLw6oJnreQW7u"
const badNanoid = "xv02pdYYi8Tb1SF1WjfSe" // bad because the nanoid's length is expected to be 64 characters

const schema = z.string().regex(/^[a-z0-9_-]{64}$/i) // if you wish to check for a higher or lower size nanoid just change the 64 with the size of your choice
const goodNanoidResult = schema.safeParseAsync(goodNanoid)
const badNanoidResult = schema.safeParseAsync(badNanoid)
console.log(goodNanoidResult.success) // true
console.log(badNanoidResult.success) // false
