VistasNodeJS, crypto.randomUUID is not a function
I'm very new to JS, I want to generate an UUID. Here's what I tried, step by step:
mkdir testcd testtouch file1.js- Inside
file1.js:
let crypto;
try {
crypto = require('crypto');
} catch (err) {
console.log('crypto support is disabled!');
}
var uuid = crypto.randomUUID();
console.log(uuid);And you see the error. What is wrong? I can't find answer anywhere. Node JS version:
node -v shows v12.22.9

here you can use randomBytes() method for get unique id
const crypto = require('crypto');
console.log(crypto.randomBytes(20).toString('hex'));
you can also use uuidv4 instead of crypto
const { uuid } = require('uuidv4');
console.log(uuid());

I upgraded NodeJS to newer version, and it worked!
I had some problems, so I tried to remove NodeJS (I had the same problem like this guy: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues/1157).
And installed LTS version: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1265813/how-to-update-node-js-to-the-long-term-support-version-on-ubuntu-20-04.
Now I have:
node -vv16.16.0
and script works! Thank you :)
