V3 brokes IE #336

Closed AvraamMavridis closed 2 years ago

The way the V3 is exported prevents proper traspilation and because of the arrow functions the package is not working on IE11. Any plans to provide a es5 compatible build?

We have a notice in docs with a solution https://github.com/ai/nanoid#ie

We made this choice to make JS move forward without blocking from very old IE 11. If you need to support IE 11 you can use many tools to compile JS.
