UUID has minimum version

[brainthinks]

My project has UUID version 2.0.1 installed, and because this project's package.json requires any uuid version, it won't install its own version of UUID. I get the following error:

uncaughtException: { Error: Cannot find module 'uuid/v4'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:469:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:417:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:497:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:20:19)
    at Object.<anonymous> (./node_modules/highcharts-export-server/lib/server.js:38:14)

    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3) code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

After I upgrade my project's version of UUID, I was able to successfully run the highcharts export server.

I'm not sure which version of UUID added the uuid/v4 option, so I'm not sure what the absolute minimum is. UUID version 3.0.1 (the current latest) worked for me though.

Additionally, to prevent other potential breaking changes from other libraries, you may also want to specify minimum version of the other dependencies that are listed as "*".

Which version of the export server are you using? UUID has been included as "uuid": ">=3.0.1" in package.json since version 1.0.11 on NPM, and since February 10th in master.

This is found in highcharts-export-server\lib\server.js:

const uuid = require('uuid/v4');

@wergeld const uuid = require('uuid/v4'); does not mean requiring a version of the uuid package, which was the issue here, but rather the UUID version.

Since updating highcharts-export-server to version 1.0.11 (or commit 54dba5f in master) fixes this problem, I'm considering this issue as closed.
