uuid-by-chatgpt

This module was generated by chatGPT to see if it could write a stable UUID creator with minimal prompting. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

This module exports a single class UUIDAlternate that has a single method generate(). This method generates a UUID string using 128 bit numbers represented as 32 base-16 characters, which is composed of 16 octets.

The generate() method uses the current time and performance information (if available) to generate a random number and create a UUID string. The function uses the Date object to get the current time and the performance.now() method to get a high-resolution time if it is available.

The UUID string is generated using a template string 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' and the replace() method to replace the x and y characters with random hexadecimal characters. The replace() method uses a callback function to generate a random hexadecimal character based on the current time and performance information. The toString(16) method is used to convert the random number to a hexadecimal string.

``
class UUIDAlternate {
static generate() {
let d = new Date().getTime();
if (typeof performance !== 'undefined' && typeof performance.now === 'function') {
d += performance.now();
}
return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function (c) {
const r = (d + Math.random() * 16) % 16 | 0;
d = Math.floor(d / 16);
return (c === 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3 | 0x8)).toString(16);
});
}
}

module.exports = UUIDAlternate;
`


`import UUIDAlternate`` and then use the generate function to return a UUID
