uuidkit

uuidkit is a Typst package backed by a WebAssembly plugin for UUID validation,
normalization, inspection, and deterministic namespace-based UUID generation.

Import

#import "@preview/uuidkit:0.1.0": describe, canonical, is-uuid, v3, v5, named, namespaces

API

• describe(text): Parses a UUID string and returns a dictionary with
  hyphenated, simple, urn, version, variant, and bytes.
• canonical(text): Returns the canonical hyphenated UUID string.
• is-uuid(text): Returns true when the input can be parsed as a UUID.
• v3(namespace, name): Generates a deterministic version 3 UUID from a
  namespace and name.
• v5(namespace, name): Generates a deterministic version 5 UUID from a
  namespace and name.
• named(name, namespace: namespaces.dns, version: 5): Convenience wrapper for
  v3 and v5. Only versions 3 and 5 are supported.
• namespaces: A dictionary of built-in namespace aliases: dns, url, oid,
  and x500.

Namespace arguments may be one of "dns", "url", "oid", "x500", or a UUID
string.

Example

#import "@preview/uuidkit:0.1.0": describe, canonical, is-uuid, v3, named, namespaces

#let raw = "cfbff0d1-9375-5685-968c-48ce8b15ae17"
#let parsed = describe(raw)

Valid: #is-uuid(raw)                                                       \
Canonical: #canonical(raw)                                                 \
Simple: #parsed.simple                                                     \
