AssemblyScript library to generate RFC-compliant UUIDs v4 (random) 🚀

npm install as-uuid

Generate a random UUID string:

import uuid from "as-uuid";

const id: string = uuid();  

id; // "0f5abcd1-c194-47f3-905b-2df7263a084b"

The library use Math.random by default to generate random numbers.

This requires a seed for the random number generator to be imported from the host:

WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(fetch('my.wasm'), {
  env: {
    seed: Date.now,
    // ...
  }
});

Notice that the seed is provided automatically when the loader is used or when WASI is imported.

More details at https://www.assemblyscript.org/stdlib/math.html#using-nativemath

Alternatively, WASI can be used to import the random number generator:

import uuid from "as-uuid/uuid-wasi";

const id: string = uuid();  

id; // "0f5abcd1-c194-47f3-905b-2df7263a084b"

WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(fetch('my.wasm'), {
  wasi_snapshot_preview1: // ...
});

The assembly directory contains AS source code.

npm i
npm run asbuild

The assembly/__tests__ directory contains all unit tests.

npm test
npm run test:wasi
