[javascript] How to create a GUID / UUID

Just another more readable variant with just two mutations.

function uuid4()
{
  function hex (s, b)
  {
    return s +
      (b >>> 4   ).toString (16) +  // high nibble
      (b & 0b1111).toString (16);   // low nibble
  }

  let r = crypto.getRandomValues (new Uint8Array (16));

  r[6] = r[6] >>> 4 | 0b01000000; // Set type 4: 0100
  r[8] = r[8] >>> 3 | 0b10000000; // Set variant: 100

  return r.slice ( 0,  4).reduce (hex, '' ) +
         r.slice ( 4,  6).reduce (hex, '-') +
         r.slice ( 6,  8).reduce (hex, '-') +
         r.slice ( 8, 10).reduce (hex, '-') +
         r.slice (10, 16).reduce (hex, '-');
}
