|  | # uuid [](http://travis-ci.org/kelektiv/node-uuid) #
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Simple, fast generation of [RFC4122](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt) UUIDS. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Features: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | * Support for version 1, 3, 4 and 5 UUIDs | ||
|  | * Cross-platform | ||
|  | * Uses cryptographically-strong random number APIs (when available) | ||
|  | * Zero-dependency, small footprint (... but not [this small](https://gist.github.com/982883)) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | [**Deprecation warning**: The use of `require('uuid')` is deprecated and will not be | ||
|  | supported after version 3.x of this module.  Instead, use `require('uuid/[v1|v3|v4|v5]')` as shown in the examples below.] | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Quickstart - CommonJS (Recommended)
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```shell | ||
|  | npm install uuid | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Then generate your uuid version of choice ... | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Version 1 (timestamp): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript --run v1 | ||
|  | const uuidv1 = require('uuid/v1'); | ||
|  | uuidv1(); // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Version 3 (namespace): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript --run v3 | ||
|  | const uuidv3 = require('uuid/v3'); | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // ... using predefined DNS namespace (for domain names) | ||
|  | uuidv3('hello.example.com', uuidv3.DNS); // RESULT | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // ... using predefined URL namespace (for, well, URLs) | ||
|  | uuidv3('http://example.com/hello', uuidv3.URL); // RESULT | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // ... using a custom namespace | ||
|  | // | ||
|  | // Note: Custom namespaces should be a UUID string specific to your application! | ||
|  | // E.g. the one here was generated using this modules `uuid` CLI. | ||
|  | const MY_NAMESPACE = '1b671a64-40d5-491e-99b0-da01ff1f3341'; | ||
|  | uuidv3('Hello, World!', MY_NAMESPACE); // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Version 4 (random): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript --run v4 | ||
|  | const uuidv4 = require('uuid/v4'); | ||
|  | uuidv4(); // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Version 5 (namespace): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript --run v5 | ||
|  | const uuidv5 = require('uuid/v5'); | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // ... using predefined DNS namespace (for domain names) | ||
|  | uuidv5('hello.example.com', uuidv5.DNS); // RESULT | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // ... using predefined URL namespace (for, well, URLs) | ||
|  | uuidv5('http://example.com/hello', uuidv5.URL); // RESULT | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // ... using a custom namespace | ||
|  | // | ||
|  | // Note: Custom namespaces should be a UUID string specific to your application! | ||
|  | // E.g. the one here was generated using this modules `uuid` CLI. | ||
|  | const MY_NAMESPACE = '1b671a64-40d5-491e-99b0-da01ff1f3341'; | ||
|  | uuidv5('Hello, World!', MY_NAMESPACE); // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||

 | ||
|  | ## API
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Version 1
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript | ||
|  | const uuidv1 = require('uuid/v1'); | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // Incantations | ||
|  | uuidv1(); | ||
|  | uuidv1(options); | ||
|  | uuidv1(options, buffer, offset); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Generate and return a RFC4122 v1 (timestamp-based) 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. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | * `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 <node> id is generated guaranteed to stay constant for the lifetime of the current JS runtime. (Future versions of this module may use persistent storage mechanisms to extend this guarantee.) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Example: Generate string UUID with fully-specified options | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript --run v1 | ||
|  | const v1options = { | ||
|  |   node: [0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xab], | ||
|  |   clockseq: 0x1234, | ||
|  |   msecs: new Date('2011-11-01').getTime(), | ||
|  |   nsecs: 5678 | ||
|  | }; | ||
|  | uuidv1(v1options); // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Example: In-place generation of two binary IDs | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript --run v1 | ||
|  | // Generate two ids in an array | ||
|  | const arr = new Array(); | ||
|  | uuidv1(null, arr, 0);  // RESULT | ||
|  | uuidv1(null, arr, 16); // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Version 3
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript | ||
|  | const uuidv3 = require('uuid/v3'); | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // Incantations | ||
|  | uuidv3(name, namespace); | ||
|  | uuidv3(name, namespace, buffer); | ||
|  | uuidv3(name, namespace, buffer, offset); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Generate and return a RFC4122 v3 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 --run v3 | ||
|  | uuidv3('hello world', MY_NAMESPACE);  // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Version 4
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript | ||
|  | const uuidv4 = require('uuid/v4') | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // Incantations | ||
|  | uuidv4(); | ||
|  | uuidv4(options); | ||
|  | uuidv4(options, buffer, offset); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Generate and return a RFC4122 v4 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 | ||
|  |   * `rng` - (Function) Random # generator function that returns an Array[16] of byte values (0-255) | ||
|  | * `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 --run v4 | ||
|  | const v4options = { | ||
|  |   random: [ | ||
|  |     0x10, 0x91, 0x56, 0xbe, 0xc4, 0xfb, 0xc1, 0xea, | ||
|  |     0x71, 0xb4, 0xef, 0xe1, 0x67, 0x1c, 0x58, 0x36 | ||
|  |   ] | ||
|  | }; | ||
|  | uuidv4(v4options); // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Example: Generate two IDs in a single buffer | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript --run v4 | ||
|  | const buffer = new Array(); | ||
|  | uuidv4(null, buffer, 0);  // RESULT | ||
|  | uuidv4(null, buffer, 16); // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Version 5
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript | ||
|  | const uuidv5 = require('uuid/v5'); | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // Incantations | ||
|  | uuidv5(name, namespace); | ||
|  | uuidv5(name, namespace, buffer); | ||
|  | uuidv5(name, namespace, buffer, offset); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Generate and return a RFC4122 v5 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 --run v5 | ||
|  | uuidv5('hello world', MY_NAMESPACE);  // RESULT | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||

|  | 
 | ||
|  | Type `uuid --help` for usage details | ||
