Today, I wanted to quick show you how to generate a UUID (University Unique Identifier) using the vanilla JS crypto.randomUUID() method.
There’s really not much to show. You run it, and it generates a unique ID.
// returns something like this:
// "f116fb21-79f2-4ec0-8a81-85b5837ea0f3"
let id = crypto.randomUUID();
Because it’s a cryptographically secure identifier, it requires an SSL certificate to run. However, exceptions are made for localhost:// and file:// for testing.
