								# 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
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								const uuidv1 = require('uuid/v1');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								uuidv1(); // ⇨ '2c5ea4c0-4067-11e9-8bad-9b1deb4d3b7d'
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||

								## 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.

							 | 
						||
| 
								 |

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								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(),
							 |

								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Example: In-place generation of two binary IDs
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```javascript
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// Generate two ids in an array
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								const arr = new Array();
