Add support for all UUID versions (v1|v3|v5)

[thirtified]

It doesn't seem to be possible to load other uuid generators than v4. Following the documentation for the uuid module linked in the Postman API Reference, it should be possible to load a uuid v1 generator by one of the following lines:

var uuidV1 = require('uuid/v1');
var uuidV1 = require('uuid').v1;

However, none of the above works: the first line will return an error "Cannot find module 'uuid/v1'", the second one will be undefined.

Is there a way to get access to the v1 generators, given that the uuid module seems to be actually included?

Thanks, - Julian

@thirtified As mentioned in the documentation, the uuid module available is a shim for the original module and currently only supports v4.

const uuid = require('uuid'); // Generate and return a v4 UUID.
const uuidv4 = require('uuid').v4; // Generate and return a v4 UUID.

Considering this as a feature request to support different UUID versions.

@codenirvana any news on this? The documentation does not state it is a shim nor does it says it only has v4 support but you are linking to the complete uuid package.

Find any solution?

@codenirvana or someone else like @akshaydeo who can answer this?

I saw in the postman-runtime repository for example the complete uuid package is loaded from NPM, so according to the documentation there is still no indication the desktop app is using a shim instead of the full uuid package.

@lkeijmel The issue is with the native crypto module to make UUID work in browserified sandbox.

So, this is the shim used in scripts. I will look at it and let you know if we can support UUID directly or update the shim to support different versions.
