react-native-uuid-generator
A simple wrapper around the native iOS and Android UUID classes. Exposes a single method, getRandomUUID.
Getting started
$ npm install react-native-uuid-generator --save
$ react-native link react-native-uuid-generator
Usage
This library supports both callback and promise interfaces.
import UUIDGenerator from 'react-native-uuid-generator'; // Callback interface UUIDGenerator.getRandomUUID((uuid) => { console.log(uuid); }); // => "42A8A87A-F71C-446B-B81D-0CD16A709625" // Promise interface UUIDGenerator.getRandomUUID().then((uuid) => { console.log(uuid); }); // => "BD6120BD-3612-4D56-8957-99F5D6F02C52"Manual installation
If the react-native link command doesn't work, you can also install the native components of this library manually.

See the changelog for instructions on upgrading to the latest version.
Example
Check out the example app included in the github repo to see the UUID Generator in action! I assume you already have the react-native-cli installed, as well as the required iOS or Android dependencies.
git clone https://github.com/Traviskn/react-native-uuid-generator.git cd react-native-uuid-generator/example npm install Use react-native run-ios or react-native run-android to run the example.
