Package Exports

uuid-by-string
uuid-by-string/src/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (uuid-by-string) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Usage

The package has only one default exported method. Method receives any string and returns generated hash

const getUuid = require('uuid-by-string');

const uuidHash = getUuid('Hello world!');
// d3486ae9-136e-5856-bc42-212385ea7970

The string Hello world! will always returns d3486ae9-136e-5856-bc42-212385ea7970.

You can specify the UUID version. Available versions is 3 and 5 according to RFC-4122. The version is responsible for the hashing algorithm: version 3 uses MD5, and version 5 uses SHA-1. SHA-1 used by default if version is not specified.

const uuidV3Hash = getUuid('Hello world!', 3);
// 86fb269d-190d-3c85-b6e0-468ceca42a20

const uuidV5Hash = getUuid('Hello world!', 5);
// d3486ae9-136e-5856-bc42-212385ea7970
