Generates a UUID in Node.JS.
Use `crypto` API to generate a UUID, compliant with [RFC4122](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt) version 4.
```js
const crypto = require('crypto');
const UUIDGeneratorNode = () =>
([1e7] + -1e3 + -4e3 + -8e3 + -1e11).replace(/[018]/g, c =>
(c ^ (crypto.randomBytes(1)[0] & (15 >> (c / 4)))).toString(16)
);
```
```js
UUIDGeneratorNode(); // '79c7c136-60ee-40a2-beb2-856f1feabefc'
```
