8.0.0 (2020-04-29)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• For native ECMAScript Module (ESM) usage in Node.js only named exports are exposed, there is no more default export.

  -import uuid from 'uuid';
  -console.log(uuid.v4()); // -> 'cd6c3b08-0adc-4f4b-a6ef-36087a1c9869'
  +import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
  +uuidv4(); // ⇨ '9b1deb4d-3b7d-4bad-9bdd-2b0d7b3dcb6d'
  

• Deep requiring specific algorithms of this library like require('uuid/v4'), which has been deprecated in uuid@7, is no longer supported.

  Instead use the named exports that this module exports.

  For ECMAScript Modules (ESM):

  -import uuidv4 from 'uuid/v4';
  +import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
  uuidv4();
  

  For CommonJS:

  -const uuidv4 = require('uuid/v4');
  +const { v4: uuidv4 } = require('uuid');
  uuidv4();
