According to the documentation provided by the author on npm, you can set the characters you want to generate id with, but the total of characters should be 64.
shortid.characters('0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$@');
[A-Z][a-z][0-9] gives a total of 62, you have to use 2 special characters for it to make it work.
You must provide a string of all 64 unique characters. Order is not important.-- npm shortid docs.
Its the way the package is created, and you have to provide 2 special characters.
