uuid

Serialize, deserialize and generate UUIDs in JavaScript

Documentation

Installation

Install the package:

$ npm install @minecraft-js/uuid

And then import it in your JavaScript/TypeScript file

const{UUID}=require('@minecraft-js/uuid');// CommonJSimport{UUID}from'@minecraft-js/uuid';// ES6

Generating an UUID

To generate an UUID use the generateV4 function that you can import from the package.

constuuid=generateV4();console.log(uuid);// 'UUID <7ed9e77e-34b8-400e-b684-9093c550b4f9>'

Parsing an UUID

If you need to parse UUIDs easily from a string (with dashes or not, both are supported) use the parseUUID function.

constparsed=parseUUID('7ed9e77e-34b8-400e-b684-9093c550b4f9');console.log(uuid);// 'UUID <7ed9e77e-34b8-400e-b684-9093c550b4f9>'

The parseUUID runs a check to see whether or not the string is a valid UUID before parsing it. If you are 100% sure that the string is a valid UUID you could set the disableTypeCheck argument to true to skip that check and makes the function very fast.

constparsed=parseUUID('7ed9e77e-34b8-400e-b684-9093c550b4f9',true);console.log(uuid);// 'UUID <7ed9e77e-34b8-400e-b684-9093c550b4f9>'
