Java's UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes to written in JavaScript?

Question

I have a 3rd party application that I can\'t control that uses Java\'s UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes to create a string. I need to reproduce this function written in J

Answer 1

This answer attempts to improve on the previous ones as follows

• It includes the hyphens in the output, just like Java
• Does not rely on additional external libraries that are not supported anymore

const crypto = require('crypto');

function javaHash(input:string) {
  let md5Bytes = crypto.createHash('md5').update(input).digest();
  md5Bytes[6]  &= 0x0f;  /* clear version        */
  md5Bytes[6]  |= 0x30;  /* set to version 3     */
  md5Bytes[8]  &= 0x3f;  /* clear variant        */
  md5Bytes[8]  |= 0x80;  /* set to IETF variant  */
  const hex = md5Bytes.toString('hex')
  const uuid = hex.replace(/(\w{8})(\w{4})(\w{4})(\w{4})(\w{12})/, "$1-$2-$3-$4-$5");
  return uuid;
}

It relies on the UUID spec being exactly 128bits in length

Okay so, this is not pure-js, but it is nodejs.

const crypto = require('crypto');

function javaHash(input) {
    let md5Bytes = crypto.createHash('md5').update(input).digest();
    md5Bytes[6]  &= 0x0f;  /* clear version        */
    md5Bytes[6]  |= 0x30;  /* set to version 3     */
    md5Bytes[8]  &= 0x3f;  /* clear variant        */
    md5Bytes[8]  |= 0x80;  /* set to IETF variant  */
    return md5Bytes.toString('hex');
}

This solution gave me exact UUID for me

const crypto = require('crypto');
const hexToUuid = require('hex-to-uuid');

const javaHash = (input) => {
    var md5Bytes = crypto.createHash('md5').update(input).digest()
    md5Bytes[6] &= 0x0f;  // clear version        
    md5Bytes[6] |= 0x30;  // set to version 3     
    md5Bytes[8] &= 0x3f;  // clear variant        
    md5Bytes[8] |= 0x80;  // set to IETF variant  
    return hexToUuid(md5Bytes.toString('hex'))
}

console.log('javaHash', javaHash("HelloWorld"));
    // 68e109f0-f40c-372a-95e0-5cc22786f8e6
