You can't use that library to generate a unique ID. You might prefer https://github.com/rs/xid for this use case.

hashids are for encoding a number/numbers into a user facing string (e.g a URL).

That's how long you want the resulting string to be. It will use more anyway if needed to encore more numbers or bigger numbers. You can leave at the default value and you should be okay.
