# uid

  Generates unique ids. `window.crypto` is used when available, otherwise `Math.random()` is used as a fallback.

## Installation

  Install with [component(1)](http://component.io):

    $ component install component/uid

## API

### uid(length)

Returns an unique id of `length` characters. Returned uids are base-64 encoded. Characters `-` and `_` are used as the 63th and 64th character of the base, to allow use in URLs, CSS class names, etc.
