UUID-js

A js library to generate and parse UUID's, TimeUUID's and generate empty TimeUUID's based on TimeStamp for range selections.

var UUID = require('uuid-js')

var aUUID = UUID.new(); // Generate a V4 UUID

console.log( aUUID.toString() );
// Prints: 896b677f-fb14-11e0-b14d-d11ca798dbac

var aTimeUUID = UUID.newTS(); // Generate a V1 TimeUUID
console.log( aTimeUUID.toString();

var today = new Date().getTime();
var last30days = (new Date().setDate( today.getDate() - 30 )).getTime();

var rangeStart = UUID.firstUUIDForTime( last30days );
var rangeEnd = UUID.lastUUIDForTime( today );

// Example using cassandra
var query = ...( "select first 50 reversed ?..? from user_twits where key=?", [ rangeStart, rangeEnd, "patricknegri" ]);

Instalation

$ npm install uuid-js

Functions List

These are avaiable just with require

UUID.new(); // Generate V4 UUID

UUID.newTS(); // Generate V1 TimeUUID

UUID.fromTime( time, last ); // Generate a V1 empty TimeUUID from a Date object (Ex: new Date().getTime() ) 

UUID.firstUUIDForTime( time ); // Same as fromTime but first sequence

UUID.lastUUIDForTime( time ); // Same as fromTime but last sequence

UUID.fromURN( strId ); // Generate a UUID object from string

UUID.fromBytes( ints ); // Generate a UUID object from bytes

UUID.fromBinary( binary ); // Generate a UUID object from binary

Methods List

These must be called with a instanced object.

aUUID.fromParts( timeLow, timeMid, timeHiAndVersion, clockSeqHiAndReserved, clockSeqLow, node );

aUUID.toString(); // hex string version of UUID

aUUID.toURN(); // same as hex, but with urn:uuid prefix

aUUID.toBytes(); // convert to bytes
