A Nim source only UUID generator
A loose translation of this Javascript function (http://www.broofa.com/Tools/Math.uuid.js)
Math.uuidCompact = function() {
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);
});
};
Usage:
import nuuid
echo generateUUID()
nimble install nuuid
