uuid1

Simple Node module that allows to generate time based UUIDs. This kind of UUIDs are very useful when it's needed to generate unique identifiers sortable by time.

Usage

var uuid1 = require('uuid1');

// Generate an UUID (as a string value)
console.log(uuid1.UUID1());
// Prints: 0033a313-c4db-7ccc-7080-a313c4db7080

// Generate an UUID from millis 
var currentMillis = Date.now();
console.log(uuid1.fromMillisUUID1(currentMillis));
// Prints: 0033a311-c34a-7bc0-8ad4-a311c34a8ad4

// Generate the max UUID from millis
console.log(uuid1.maxUUID1(currentMillis));
// Prints: 0033a311-c34a-9560-ffff-ffffffffffff

// Generate the min UUID from millis
console.log(uuid1.minUUID1(currentMillis));
// Prints: 0033a311-c34a-6e50-0000-000000000000
