machine-uuid

simple node module to generate a machine uuid based on hardware available. (require node v4+)

installation

npm install bimedia-machine-uuid

usage

var machine = require('machine-uuid')

console.log(machine());

To keep id consistent between multiple calls or executions you must pass a namespace argument.

var machine = require('machine-uuid')

console.log(machine('mynamespace'));
// 2c433a07-140a-5bb9-949a-4997b566c397
console.log(machine('mynamespace'));
// 2c433a07-140a-5bb9-949a-4997b566c397

Namespace may be a string (16 chars) or a uuid (v4):

var machine = require('machine-uuid'),
    uuidv4 = require('uuid/v4');

var namespace = uuidv4();

console.log(machine(namespace));
// 2c433a07-140a-5bb9-949a-4997b566c397
console.log(machine(namespace));
// 2c433a07-140a-5bb9-949a-4997b566c397
