Generates a UUID in Node.JS.
|
|
|
|
- Use `crypto.randomBytes()` to generate a UUID, compliant with [RFC4122](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt) version 4.
|
|
- Use `Number.prototype.toString()` to convert it to a proper UUID (hexadecimal string).
|
|
|
|
```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'
|
|
```
