Generate a nanoid UUID
UUID: nanoid
Nano ID is quite comparable to UUID v4 (random-based). It has a similar number of random bits in the ID (126 in Nano ID and 122 in UUID), so it has a similar collision probability
Generate a v4 UUID
UUID: v4
These are generated from random (or pseudo-random) numbers. If you just need to generate a UUID, this is probably what you want. The advantage of this version is that when you're debugging and looking at a long list of information matched with UUIDs, it's quicker to spot matches.
Generate a v1 UUID
UUID: v1
This generates a unique ID based on a network card MAC address and current time. If any of these things is sensitive in any way, don't use this. The advantage of this version is that, while looking at a list of UUIDs generated by machines you trust, you can easily know whether many UUIDs got generated by the same machine, or infer some time relationship between them.
Generate a timestamp UUID
UUID: timestamp
The current Unix epoch time
