Best way to generate initial ids?

[matthew-dean]

In HTML / CSS, identifiers can be alphanumeric but MUST start with [A-Za-z]. (Well, CSS identifiers can also have a dash prefix, but for the sake of argument, lets say this is aligned.

I realize I can pass an alpha dictionary to nanoid to only use alpha characters, but could you add a feature of easily specifying this format, so that I can generate valid IDs for <label for={id}> <input id={id}> pairings?

Nano ID is bad option for that simple case. You will use too much hardware resources for that.

Just use useId() or small snippet like "id" + (++counter)

Okay thanks for the suggestion
