`react-native-uuid` is a zero-dependency TypeScript implementation of [RFC4122](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122) standard **A Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) URN Namespace**. Please note, this library uses pseudo random generator based on top of `Math.random`. New version with hardware support is WIP.

**Heavily inspired by:**

- [uuid](https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid)

- [pure-uuid](https://github.com/rse/pure-uuid)

- [nanoid](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nanoid)

Huge thanks to [Randy Coulman](https://github.com/randycoulman) for the early version of a code.

```

## Documentation
