You opted for speed from this bot. Let's conjure up an answer right now!
Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can answer your question about the length of generated
cuid(2) IDs in Prisma.
According to the Prisma schema reference, when using cuid(2), the length of the generated ID is not explicitly specified. However, it's mentioned that a safe field size for cuid() is 30 characters to allow for very large values.
For validation purposes with Zod, you might want to set a maximum length of 30 characters to be on the safe side. Here's an example of how you could validate a cuid(2) field using Zod:
It's important to note that while this validation should work for most cases, the exact length of cuid(2) IDs is not guaranteed to be fixed. If you need more precise validation, you might want to consider using a different ID generation method or consult the latest Prisma documentation for any updates on cuid(2) specifics.

I understand that 30 is a good maximum but is there a good minimum?
Usually I have observed that a minimum of 24 and a maximum of 30 is a safe rule
Thanks
