Migration notes

Import the UUID class using the ESM syntax:

<!-- HTML5 -->
-<script src="https://unpkg.com/uuidjs@^4"></script>
-<script>
+<script type="module">
+  import { UUID } from "https://unpkg.com/uuidjs@^5";
   const uuid = UUID.generate();
 </script>

// Node.js
-const UUID = require("uuidjs");
+import { UUID } from "uuidjs";
const uuid = UUID.generate();

Call static methods through the UUID class, rather than importing them directly:

// Node.js
-const { generate } = require("uuidjs");
-const uuid = generate();
+import { UUID } from "uuidjs";
+const uuid = UUID.generate();

Run type checking relating to the following items, as these items have different type declarations than those in v4:

• UUID.parse()
• UUID.FIELD_NAMES
• UUID.FIELD_SIZES
• new UUID()
• UUID#intFields
• UUID#bitFields
• UUID#hexFields
