npx uuidjsUUID.js is a JavaScript/ECMAScript library to generate RFC 4122 compliant Universally Unique IDentifiers (UUIDs). This library supports both version 4 UUIDs (UUIDs from random numbers) and version 1 UUIDs (time-based UUIDs), and provides an object-oriented interface to print a generated or parsed UUID in a variety of forms.
- Generates version 4 UUIDs (UUIDs from random numbers) and version 1 UUIDs (time-based UUIDs)
- Provides an object-oriented interface to print various string representations of a generated or parsed UUID
- Utilizes a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator if available, whereas falling back to
Math.random()otherwise - Appends extra random bits to compensate for the lower timestamp resolution of JavaScript than that required for version 1 UUIDs
- Comes with a lot of test cases including format checks and statistical tests to maintain a high-quality code base
- Supports old browsers as well as modern browser and server environments, as kept compatible with ECMAScript 3rd edition
Download src/uuid.js or call npm install uuidjs.
Then, load src/uuid.js.
<script src="src/uuid.js"></script>Or, import uuidjs.
const UUID = require("uuidjs");UUID.generate() returns a version 4 UUID as a hexadecimal string.
// Create a version 4 UUID as a hexadecimal string
console.log(UUID.generate()); // fa84cf42-ffdf-4975-b42b-31ab5fb983ebUUID.genV4(), UUID.genV1(), and UUID.parse() return a UUID object that has various fields and methods.
// Create a version 4 (random number-based) UUID object
var objV4 = UUID.genV4();
// Create a version 1 (time-based) UUID object
var objV1 = UUID.genV1();
// Create a UUID object from a hexadecimal string
var uuid = UUID.parse("a0e0f130-8c21-11df-92d9-95795a3bcd40");
// Get string representations of a UUID object

console.log(uuid.bitFields[4]); // "11011001"

// Avoid namespace conflicts with other libraries
var arbitraryVarName = UUID;
UUID = UUID.overwrittenUUID; // Restore the original value
console.log(arbitraryVarName.generate()); // "cb9a0283-a44c-4e7a-a5b0-9cd2876e952b"Copyright (c) 2010-2020 LiosK
