v4uuid

A tiny dependency-free Typescript UUID v4 implementation

GitHub Workflow Status GitHub top language

As per https://wicg.github.io/uuid/#dom-crypto-randomuuid

Why

As per the MDN docs, Crypto.randomUUID() is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers. This function not being in browsers such as Firefox and Safari to name two is a major issue.

Usage

Import the module

import { CrossUUID } from "./crossuuid.ts";

Generate a UUID

const uuid: string = new CrossUUID().generate();
console.log(uuid);

Validate the generated UUID

import { v4 } from "https://deno.land/std@0.112.0/uuid/mod.ts";

const isValid: boolean = v4.validate(uuid);
console.log(isValid);
