elm-uuid | Generate and parse UUIDs in Elm | Identity Management library

elm-uuid is a Elm library typically used in Security, Identity Management applications. elm-uuid has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Note: this package has been forked with a few updates for 0.19 and is now maintained at: This package provides an opaque type for Uuids, helpers to serialize from and to String and helpers to generate new Uuids using Elm's Random package. Uuids are Universally Unique IDentifiers. They are 128 bit ids that are designed to be extremely unlikely to collide with other Uuids. This library only supports generating Version 4 Uuid (those generated using random numbers, as opposed to hashing. See Wikipedia on Uuids for more details). Version 4 Uuids are constructed using 122 pseudo random bits. Disclaimer: If you use this Library to generate Uuids, please be advised that it does not use a cryptographically secure pseudo random number generator. Depending on your use case the randomness provided may not be enough. The period of the underlying random generator is high, so creating lot's of random UUIDs on one client is fine, but please be aware that since the initial random seed of the current Random implementation is limited to 32 bits, creating UUIDs on many independent clients may lead to collisions more quickly than you think (see for details)! If you need to generate UUIDs on many clients independently, please use the fork which covers this case. This library is split into two Modules. Uuid wraps Uuids in an opaque type for improved type safety. If you prefer to simply get strings you can use the Uuid.Barebones module which provides methods to generate and verify Uuid as plain Strings.
