uuidjs

These libuuid bindings are forked from Nikhil Marathe's project on bitbucket.

Installation

Clone this repository, then:

cd uuidjs
node-waf configure build

and link build/default/uuid.node into your NODE_PATH.

Example

var sys = require('sys'),
    uuid = require('uuid');

sys.puts('generate: ' + uuid.generate());
sys.puts('binary: ' + sys.inspect(uuid.generate('binary')));

API

generate([encoding]) Generate a new UUID with an optional encoding. If the encoding is 'binary', return the raw, 16 byte UUID. Otherwise, return a 40 character string in a hyphenated hexidecimal format.
