How to generate UUID with two lines of Javascript code

Discover an easy way to generate UUIDs in a Javascript application without relying on third-party libraries.

function uuid() { var temp_url = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob()); var uuid = temp_url.toString(); // blob:https://xxx.com/b250d159-e1b6-4a87-9002-885d90033be3 URL.revokeObjectURL(temp_url); return uuid.substr(uuid.lastIndexOf("/") + 1); }

The URL.createObjectURL method can be used in Javascript to create a unique URL that represents the object passed to it. In order to make this URL unique, the URL returned by the URL.createObjectURL method will carry a 36-bit long string, which is the same length as the UUID. Through this principle, the UUID can be simulated.

Here are some examples of UUIDs generated by this method:

for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { console.log(uuid()); } // 执行结果如下 // f6ca05c0-fad5-46fc-a237-a8e930e7cb49 // 6a88664e-51e1-48c3-a85e-7bf00467e9e6 // e6050f4c-e86d-4081-9376-099bfbef2c30 // bde3da3c-b318-4498-8a03-9a773afa84bd // ba0fda03-f806-4c2f-b6f5-1e74a299e603 // 62b2edc3-b09f-4bf9-8dbf-c4d599479a29 // e70c0609-22ad-4493-abcc-0e3445291397 // 920255b2-1838-497d-bc33-56550842b378 // 45559c64-971c-4236-9cfc-706048b60e70 // 4bc4bbb9-1e90-432b-99e8-277b40af92cd

Note: The purpose of URL.createObjectURL is not to generate random UUIDs. Therefore, the above method of generating UUIDs may cause side effects that I am not yet aware of. If you can think of any questions, please leave a message and reply to me, thank you.
