crypto.randomUUID for React Native

A small implementation of crypto.randomUUID for React Native.

Installation

npm install react-native-random-uuid
npx pod-install

💡 If you use the Expo managed workflow you will see "CocoaPods is not supported in this project" - this is fine, it's not necessary. This library works as a polyfill for the global crypto.randomUUID.

// Add this line to your `index.js`
import 'react-native-random-uuid'

Now you can use crypto.randomUUID anywhere.

console.log(crypto.randomUUID())

API

crypto.randomUUID()

The randomUUID() method of the Crypto interface is used to generate a v4 UUID using a cryptographically secure random number generator.

Returns a string containing a randomly generated, 36 character long v4 UUID.
