- # uuid [](https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid/actions)
-
- For the creation of [RFC4122](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt) UUIDs
-
- - **Complete** - Support for RFC4122 version 1, 3, 4, and 5 UUIDs
- - **Cross-platform** - Support for ...
- - CommonJS, [ECMAScript Modules](#ecmascript-modules) and UMD builds
- - Node 8, 10, 12
- - Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, IE 11 browsers
- - Webpack and rollup.js module bundlers
- - [React Native](#react-native)
- - **Secure** - Cryptographically-strong random values
- - **Small** - Zero-dependency, small footprint, plays nice with "tree shaking" packagers
- - **CLI** - Includes the [`uuid` command line](#command-line) utility
-
- **Upgrading from uuid\@3?** Your code is probably okay, but check out [Upgrading
- From uuid\@3](#upgrading-from-uuid3) for details.
-
- ## Quickstart - Node.js/CommonJS
-
- ```shell
- npm install uuid
- ```
-
- Once installed, decide which type of UUID you need. RFC4122 provides for four
- versions, all of which are supported here. In order of popularity, they are:
-
- - Version 4 (random) - Created from cryptographically-strong random values
- - Version 1 (timestamp) - Created from the system clock (plus random values)
- - Version 5 (namespace, SHA-1) - Created from user-supplied name and namespace strings
- - Version 3 (namespace, MD5) - Like version 5, above, but with a poorer hash algorithm
-
- **Unsure which one to use?** Use version 4 (random) unless you have a specific need for one of the other versions. See also [this FAQ](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-uuid#faq).
-
- ### Create Version 4 (Random) UUIDs
-
- ```javascript
- import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
- uuidv4(); // ⇨ '9b1deb4d-3b7d-4bad-9bdd-2b0d7b3dcb6d'
- ```
-
- ### Create Version 1 (Timestamp) UUIDs
-
- ```javascript
- import { v1 as uuidv1 } from 'uuid';
- uuidv1(); // ⇨ '2c5ea4c0-4067-11e9-8b2d-1b9d6bcdbbfd'
- ```
-
- ### Create Version 3 or Version 5 (Namespace) UUIDs
-
- ⚠️ Version 3 and Version 5 UUIDs are basically the same, differing
- only in the underlying hash algorithm. Note that per the RFC, "_If backward
- compatibility is not an issue, SHA-1 [Version 5] is preferred_."
-
- ⚠️ If using a custom namespace **be sure to generate your own
- namespace UUID**. You can grab one [here](https://www.uuidgenerator.net/).
-
- ```javascript
- import { v5 as uuidv5 } from 'uuid'; // For version 5
- import { v3 as uuidv3 } from 'uuid'; // For version 3
-
- // Using predefined DNS namespace (for domain names)
- uuidv5('hello.example.com', uuidv5.DNS); // ⇨ 'fdda765f-fc57-5604-a269-52a7df8164ec'
- uuidv3('hello.example.com', uuidv3.DNS); // ⇨ '9125a8dc-52ee-365b-a5aa-81b0b3681cf6'
-
- // Using predefined URL namespace (for URLs)
- uuidv5('http://example.com/hello', uuidv5.URL); // ⇨ '3bbcee75-cecc-5b56-8031-b6641c1ed1f1'
- uuidv3('http://example.com/hello', uuidv3.URL); // ⇨ 'c6235813-3ba4-3801-ae84-e0a6ebb7d138'
-
- // Using a custom namespace (See note, above, about generating your own
- // namespace UUID)
- const MY_NAMESPACE = '1b671a64-40d5-491e-99b0-da01ff1f3341';
- uuidv5('Hello, World!', MY_NAMESPACE); // ⇨ '630eb68f-e0fa-5ecc-887a-7c7a62614681'
- uuidv3('Hello, World!', MY_NAMESPACE); // ⇨ 'e8b5a51d-11c8-3310-a6ab-367563f20686'
- ```
-
- ## API
-
- ### Version 4 (Random)
-
- ```javascript
- import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
-
- // Incantations
- uuidv4();
- uuidv4(options);
- uuidv4(options, buffer, offset);
- ```
-
- Generate and return a RFC4122 version 4 UUID.
-
- - `options` - (Object) Optional uuid state to apply. Properties may include:
- - `random` - (Number[16]) Array of 16 numbers (0-255) to use in place of randomly generated values. Takes precedence over `options.rng`.
- - `rng` - (Function) Random # generator function that returns an Array[16] of byte values (0-255). Alternative to `options.random`.
- - `buffer` - (Array | Buffer) Array or buffer where UUID bytes are to be written.
- - `offset` - (Number) Starting index in `buffer` at which to begin writing.
-
- Returns `buffer`, if specified, otherwise the string form of the UUID
-
- Example: Generate string UUID with predefined `random` values
-
- ```javascript
- const v4options = {
- random: [
- 0x10,
- 0x91,
- 0x56,
- 0xbe,
- 0xc4,
- 0xfb,
- 0xc1,
- 0xea,
- 0x71,
- 0xb4,
- 0xef,
- 0xe1,
- 0x67,
- 0x1c,
- 0x58,
- 0x36,
- ],
- };
- uuidv4(v4options); // ⇨ '109156be-c4fb-41ea-b1b4-efe1671c5836'
- ```
-
- Example: Generate two IDs in a single buffer
-
- ```javascript
- const buffer = new Array();
- uuidv4(null, buffer, 0); // ⇨
- // [
- // 155, 29, 235, 77, 59,
- // 125, 75, 173, 155, 221,
- // 43, 13, 123, 61, 203,
- // 109
- // ]
- uuidv4(null, buffer, 16); // ⇨
- // [
- // 155, 29, 235, 77, 59, 125, 75, 173,
- // 155, 221, 43, 13, 123, 61, 203, 109,
- // 27, 157, 107, 205, 187, 253, 75, 45,
- // 155, 93, 171, 141, 251, 189, 75, 237
- // ]
- ```
-
- ### Version 1 (Timestamp)
-
- ```javascript
- import { v1 as uuidv1 } from 'uuid';
-
- // Incantations
- uuidv1();
- uuidv1(options);
- uuidv1(options, buffer, offset);
- ```
-
- Generate and return a RFC4122 version 1 (timestamp) UUID.
-
- - `options` - (Object) Optional uuid state to apply. Properties may include:
- - `node` - (Array) Node id as Array of 6 bytes (per 4.1.6). Default: Randomly generated ID. See note 1.
- - `clockseq` - (Number between 0 - 0x3fff) RFC clock sequence. Default: An internally maintained clockseq is used.
- - `msecs` - (Number) Time in milliseconds since unix Epoch. Default: The current time is used.
- - `nsecs` - (Number between 0-9999) additional time, in 100-nanosecond units. Ignored if `msecs` is unspecified. Default: internal uuid counter is used, as per 4.2.1.2.
- - `random` - (Number[16]) Array of 16 numbers (0-255) to use for initialization of `node` and `clockseq` as described above. Takes precedence over `options.rng`.
- - `rng` - (Function) Random # generator function that returns an Array[16] of byte values (0-255). Alternative to `options.random`.
- - `buffer` - (Array | Buffer) Array or buffer where UUID bytes are to be written.
- - `offset` - (Number) Starting index in `buffer` at which to begin writing.
-
- Returns `buffer`, if specified, otherwise the string form of the UUID
-
- Note: The default [node id](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122#section-4.1.6) (the last 12 digits in the UUID) is generated once, randomly, on process startup, and then remains unchanged for the duration of the process.
-
- Example: Generate string UUID with fully-specified options
-
- ```javascript
- const v1options = {
- node: [0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xab],
- clockseq: 0x1234,
- msecs: new Date('2011-11-01').getTime(),
- nsecs: 5678,
- };
- uuidv1(v1options); // ⇨ '710b962e-041c-11e1-9234-0123456789ab'
- ```
-
- Example: In-place generation of two binary IDs
-
- ```javascript
- // Generate two ids in an array
- const arr = new Array();
- uuidv1(null, arr, 0); // ⇨
- // [
- // 44, 94, 164, 192, 64,
- // 103, 17, 233, 146, 52,
- // 27, 157, 107, 205, 187,
- // 253
- // ]
- uuidv1(null, arr, 16); // ⇨
- // [
- // 44, 94, 164, 192, 64, 103, 17, 233,
- // 146, 52, 27, 157, 107, 205, 187, 253,
- // 44, 94, 164, 193, 64, 103, 17, 233,
- // 146, 52, 27, 157, 107, 205, 187, 253
- // ]
- ```
-
- ### Version 5 (Namespace)
-
- ```javascript
- import { v5 as uuidv5 } from 'uuid';
-
- // Incantations
- uuidv5(name, namespace);
- uuidv5(name, namespace, buffer);
- uuidv5(name, namespace, buffer, offset);
- ```
-
- Generate and return a RFC4122 version 5 UUID.
-
- - `name` - (String | Array[]) "name" to create UUID with
- - `namespace` - (String | Array[]) "namespace" UUID either as a String or Array[16] of byte values
- - `buffer` - (Array | Buffer) Array or buffer where UUID bytes are to be written.
- - `offset` - (Number) Starting index in `buffer` at which to begin writing. Default = 0
-
- Returns `buffer`, if specified, otherwise the string form of the UUID
-
- Example:
-
- ```javascript
- uuidv5('hello world', MY_NAMESPACE); // ⇨ '9f282611-e0fd-5650-8953-89c8e342da0b'
- ```
-
- ### Version 3 (Namespace)
-
- ⚠️ Note: Per the RFC, "_If backward compatibility is not an issue, SHA-1 [Version 5] is preferred_."
-
- ```javascript
- import { v3 as uuidv3 } from 'uuid';
-
- // Incantations
- uuidv3(name, namespace);
- uuidv3(name, namespace, buffer);
- uuidv3(name, namespace, buffer, offset);
- ```
-
- Generate and return a RFC4122 version 3 UUID.
-
- - `name` - (String | Array[]) "name" to create UUID with
- - `namespace` - (String | Array[]) "namespace" UUID either as a String or Array[16] of byte values
- - `buffer` - (Array | Buffer) Array or buffer where UUID bytes are to be written.
- - `offset` - (Number) Starting index in `buffer` at which to begin writing. Default = 0
-
- Returns `buffer`, if specified, otherwise the string form of the UUID
-
- Example:
-
- ```javascript
- uuidv3('hello world', MY_NAMESPACE); // ⇨ '042ffd34-d989-321c-ad06-f60826172424'
- ```
-
- ## Command Line
-
- UUIDs can be generated from the command line using `uuid`.
-
- ```shell
- $ uuid
- ddeb27fb-d9a0-4624-be4d-4615062daed4
- ```
-
- The default is to generate version 4 UUIDS, however the other versions are supported. Type `uuid --help` for details:
-
- ```
- $ uuid --help
-
- Usage:
- uuid
- uuid v1
- uuid v3 <name> <namespace uuid>
- uuid v4
- uuid v5 <name> <namespace uuid>
- uuid --help
-
- Note: <namespace uuid> may be "URL" or "DNS" to use the corresponding UUIDs
- defined by RFC4122
- ```
-
- ## ECMAScript Modules
-
- For usage in the browser `uuid` provides support for [ECMAScript
- Modules](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-modules) (ESM) that enable
- tree-shaking for bundlers, like [rollup.js](https://rollupjs.org/guide/en/#tree-shaking)
- ([example](./examples/browser-rollup/)) and [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/guides/tree-shaking/)
- ([example](./examples/browser-webpack/)).
-
- ```javascript
- import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
- uuidv4(); // ⇨ '1b9d6bcd-bbfd-4b2d-9b5d-ab8dfbbd4bed'
- ```
-
- There is experimental native ESM support for [the browser](./examples/browser-esmodules/) but it
- should not be considered ready for production use and may change or disappear in future releases.
-
- To run the examples you must first create a dist build of this library in the module root:
-
- ```
- npm run build
- ```
-
- ## UMD Builds
-
- If you want to load a minified UMD build directly in the browser you can use one of the popular npm
- CDNs:
-
- ```html
- <script src="https://unpkg.com/uuid@latest/dist/umd/uuidv4.min.js"></script>
- <script>
- alert(uuidv4());
- </script>
- ```
-
- or
-
- ```html
- <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/uuid@latest/dist/umd/uuidv4.min.js"></script>
- <script>
- alert(uuidv4());
- </script>
- ```
-
- Available bundles:
-
- - https://unpkg.com/uuid@latest/dist/umd/
- - https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/uuid@latest/dist/umd/
-
- ## "getRandomValues() not supported"
-
- This error occurs in environments where the standard
- [`crypto.getRandomValues()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Crypto/getRandomValues)
- API is not supported. This issue can be resolved by adding an appropriate polyfill:
-
- ### React Native
-
- 1. Install [`react-native-get-random-values`](https://github.com/LinusU/react-native-get-random-values#readme)
- 1. Import it before `uuid`:
-
- ```javascript
- import 'react-native-get-random-values';
- import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
- ```
-
- ### Web Workers / Service Workers (Edge <= 18)
-
- [In Edge <= 18, Web Crypto is not supported in Web Workers or Service
- Workers](https://caniuse.com/#feat=cryptography) and we are not aware of a polyfill (let us know if
- you find one, please).
-
- ## Upgrading From uuid\@3
-
- "_Wait... what happened to uuid\@4 - uuid\@6?!?_"
-
- In order to avoid confusion with RFC [version 4](#version-4-random) and [version
- 5](#version-5-namespace) UUIDs, and a possible [version
- 6](http://gh.peabody.io/uuidv6/), releases 4 thru 6 of this module have been
- skipped. Hence, how we're now at uuid\@7.
-
- ### Deep Requires Now Deprecated
-
- uuid\@3 encouraged the use of deep requires to minimize the bundle size of
- browser builds:
-
- ```javascript
- const uuidv4 = require('uuid/v4'); // <== NOW DEPRECATED!
- uuidv4();
- ```
-
- As of uuid\@7 this library now provides ECMAScript modules builds, which allow
- packagers like Webpack and Rollup to do "tree-shaking" to remove dead code.
- Instead, use the `import` syntax:
-
- ```javascript
- import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
- uuidv4();
- ```
-
- ... or for CommonJS:
-
- ```javascript
- const { v4: uuidv4 } = require('uuid');
- uuidv4();
- ```
-
- ### Default Export Removed
-
- uuid\@3 was exporting the Version 4 UUID method as a default export:
-
- ```javascript
- const uuid = require('uuid'); // <== REMOVED!
- ```
-
- This usage pattern was already discouraged in uuid\@3 and has been removed in uuid\@7.
