randomUuid - Generate a random UUID

Generate a random UUIDv4 to function as an identifier for a given document.

Syntax

randomUuid(): string

Example - Adding an ID to a document

Consider the following document:

{
    path: "/home",
    domain: "coralogix.com",
    full_url_encoded: "aHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhbG9naXguY29tL2hvbWU=" 
}

We do not have any kind of request_id available, but we can use randomUuid() to generate one for us.

create request_id from randomUuid()

After running this function, the document is now:

{
    path: "/home",
    domain: "coralogix.com",
    full_url_encoded: "aHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhbG9naXguY29tL2hvbWU=",
    request_id: "37367559-35f4-459c-943e-19025765da15"
}
