How to add a new npm module to the plugin

[Lekha30]

I have installed the plugin to seed my data. However, my data requires a uuid to be generated . I have uuid installed in my lambda layer function. But I am not sure how to make use of the npm module inside my seed-data.js file. I searched in Google to figure out an answer to this but couldn't find one, hence raising it here.

Thanks.

If the UUID package is installed in your project, you should be able to use it in the seed-data.js file. How are you using it currently? IIRC, you have to us CommonJS to import - you have to use something like const uuid = require('uuid'); (you can't use "import ... ".

And then you can do: console.log('Here is a test v4 uuid: ${uuid.v4()}');

Note: if you're using this for generating IDs, you don't have to provide the ID attribute in the Seed data script. Under the hood, it will set a random UUID if you don't specify one yourself.
