Add isValid methods about uuid HOT 11 CLOSED

For those wondering how to validate a UUID v4, the regex looks like this (in JS, but generally applicable):

var id = "the id to test";
/^[a-z0-9]{8}-[a-z0-9]{4}-4[a-z0-9]{3}-[a-z0-9]{4}-[a-z0-9]{12}$/.test(id)

@NatWeiss @tjconcept might want to take a look at validator, which will give you a lot more than just UUID validation.

@tracker1 "a lot more" is a bad thing in my book ;-)
Thanks @marbemac, I still think it would be a nice addition to this library though.

@tjconcept I agree, would be a nice addition to the library.

@tjconcept @marbemac Although I understand the concern... I'm assuming you have to validate more than just UUIDs in your application... that being the case a common abstract for validation is probably better than a custom one for each type of data.

Yeah, I like this idea!

No I don't :)

I also think this would be a great idea and I also like the syntax suggested above:

nodeUuid.isValid(input)
// returns boolean

I'd volunteer to add this feature

Is this repo still active? I'd like also to add this feature but the pending Pull Requests are not reassuring.

This is an old issue, but would be a great feature 👍
