uuid-cron

Generate random uuids in a given time

Getting Started

1. Install

npm install uuid-cron

2. Init cron job

const { init, uuidv4CronLimited, stop } = require('uuid-cron');
// for the first param, read cron syntax here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/human-to-cron
init('each 20 seconds');

3. uuidv4Cron() will return random uuid every 20 seconds

const randomUUID = uuidv4Cron();

4. On finish, stop the cron job, otherwise it will continue infinitely

stop();

Limit the number of random uuids

use uuidv4CronLimited to control the number of uuids generated in each cron job

init('each 20 seconds', 30);
// each 20 second generate 30 random uuids and return one of them each time
const limitedRandomUUIDS = uuidv4CronLimited();
