The WordPress block API for Gutenberg has a withInstanceId package.

They say,

Some components need to generate a unique id for each instance. This could serve as suffixes to element ID's for example. Wrapping a component with withInstanceId provides a unique instanceId to serve this purpose.

and show an example:

/**
 * WordPress dependencies
 */
import { withInstanceId } from '@wordpress/compose';

function MyCustomElement( { instanceId } ) {
    return (
        <div id={ `my-custom-element-${ instanceId }` }>
            content
        </div>
    );
}

export default withInstanceId( MyCustomElement );

It seems like it is just being used for html ids? As to not have duplicate id names? Is there any other usage for it? If i just export my component using export default withInstanceId( MyCustomElement ) will the entire component have a unique id?

Reset to default 1

The generated id is added to the component's props. So it can be accessed through this.props.instanceId inside the component.

In the example you posted it is being used to assign a unique id attribute to the html element. However it can be used for custom logic inside react. Just as an example, you can assign each component an id and then save its data to the redux store, that way when you need to access the data from an element inside the store you can use its id to find it.

You could use clientId to uniquely identify the block. clientId is available in props.

Something like this..

export function EditBlock({clientId, setAttributes} ) {
  
  // save clientId in attributes to make it available in Save
  return (
        <div id={ `my-custom-element-${ clientId }` }>
            content
        </div>
    ); 
}

No need for HOC.
