Typing stubs for nanoid
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use nanoid and run static type checking. It has no runtime cost, low install friction, and is actively maintained by typeshed. Install it alongside nanoid in development environments to enable full type coverage. Not needed if you don't use type checkers or don't use nanoid.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.10.
- The nanoid package itself must be installed separately for runtime use.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
types-nanoid is a type stub package that provides type annotations for the nanoid library, a package used to generate unique string identifiers. Type stubs are metadata files that tell static type checkers like mypy and pyright what types nanoid's functions accept and return, without modifying nanoid itself. This allows developers to catch type errors in code that uses nanoid before runtime.
The package is maintained as part of typeshed, the central repository for Python type stubs. It has no runtime dependencies—it only adds type information to your development environment. Installation is straightforward and adds no overhead to your application, only to your type-checking workflow.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that imports and calls nanoid functions.
- Catch type mismatches when passing arguments to nanoid or using its return values in a type-aware IDE.
- Support strict type-checking workflows in projects that generate unique IDs with nanoid.
