Can I import some utility for generate keys in same format used by sanity studio?

Hello, I'm migrating some data through sanity client using sanity exec. For collections I got this warning after importing new data:

This usually happens when items are created through the API client from outside the Content Studio and someone forgets to set the _key-property of list items.
The value of the _key can be any string as long as it is unique for each element within the array.

The message is clear, I would just like to know if I can import some utility for generate keys in same format used by sanity studio, to maintain uniformity. Thanks

In the Sanity JavaScript client library documentation they use an npm package called

nanoid

to generate the keys
