A simple script for generating a Globally Unique Identifiers (GUID) in JavaScript.

Create a new GUID

Use the GUID function (or GUID.create) to create a new GUID.

var myGuid = GUID();
// or
var myGuid = GUID.create();

Get a list of all GUIDs

Use GUID.list to get a full list of all registered GUIDs.

GUID.list

Check if a GUID exists

Use the GUID.exists(guid) method to check if a GUID already exists.

GUID.exists("885b8819-5bb3-467b-9e6b-62ca997b55a5");

Register a GUID

Use the GUID.register method to register a GUID so that it will not be used again. This can be useful to sync the GUID list with a database on your server and then generate new GUIDs that are truely unique to your database.

This returns true if the GUID did not previously exist and was successfully registered, false if the GUID previously existed.

GUID.register("885b8819-5bb3-467b-9e6b-62ca997b55a5");

GUID.JS Version

Use GUID.version to check the version number of this script.

GUID.version

guidjs's Issues

Don't expose list

Do not expose the list variable as a private member but rather use the already existing scope to not expose it globally.
