Generate UUIDs

Source: R/uuid.R

Generate UUIDs using the uuid package. This is simply a thin wrapper around uuid::UUIDgenerate that matches the interface in the rest of the ids package.

uuid(n = 1, drop_hyphens = FALSE, use_time = NA)

Arguments

n

number of ids to return. If NULL, it instead returns the generating function

drop_hyphens

Drop the hyphens from the UUID?

use_time

Passed through to UUIDgenerate as use.time.

uuid(10)
#>  [1] "fece28e1-f54c-4f50-8135-58f2eb0dbee6"
