The nature of your application and its security and idempotence needs will determine who should (ideally) generate ids for any specific context. The format is irrelevant.
Generate ids on the client when it makes sense, generate them on the server when it makes sense. Server-side is more common but if you choose poorly you'll make bad software either way.
