This morning, I needed to be able to generate a GUID in Javascript. Like any developer, I hit up the interwebs for some help, and landed here. (Gotta love Stack Overflow.)
Anyway, I ended up going with this implementation, submitted by broofa.
function newGuid(){ return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) { var r = Math.random()*16|0, v = c == 'x' ? r : (r&0x3|0x8); return v.toString(16); }); }
It’s exactly what I was looking for, all nice and tidy. Happy coding!
