NPM: Cannot find module 'uuid'

You might have seen the error because of this

const uuidv1 = require('uuid/v1'); 

try to replace it with this one

const { v1: uuidv1 } = require('uuid'); 

You can try (ECMAScript Module syntax)

import { v1 as uuidv1 } from 'uuid'; console.log(uuidv1()); //=> f68f7b70-9606-11ea-9ccc-fbd3ee221c8f 

With v4

import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid'; uuidv4(); // ⇨ '9b1deb4d-3b7d-4bad-9bdd-2b0d7b3dcb6d'

do

 npm install uuid 

And then in your app.js file do

var uuid = require('uuid'); const uuidv1 = require('uuid/v1'); console.log(uuid.v1()); 

There's an error in the most recently versions of 'uuid'. Try to install:

npm install [email protected] 

or with yarn

yarn add [email protected] 

I've got the answer from this tutorial

Instead of

const uuidv1 = require('uuid/v1') 

Use this

const uuidv1 = require('uuid'); console.log(uuidv1.v1()) 

Run this terminal command:

npm install uuid 

This will output something like this:

[email protected] added 454 packages from 181 contributors, removed 144 packages, updated 1399 packages and audited 1862 packages in 712.444s 

next step import this to your js file

import { v8 as uuidv8 } from 'uuid'; 

The error occurs when you import as const uuid= require('uuid/dist/v4');

code: 'ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED' 

So the new import is

 import const {v4:uuid4} =require('uuid'); 

which solves the issue. You can refer this link for more information: https://www.npmjs.com/package/uuid.

Sometimes, you just have to save the types which are by default not saved by npm

npm i --save-dev @types/module-name 

Then you can easily import the module however you wish. I faced the same problem in uuid module.It was resolved by this.

If you use Typescript: npm i @types/uuid

If you use Javascript: npm i uuid

When we import:

const uuid = require("uuid"); 

When we call it we need also specify the version:

uuid.v4(); 

Just remove /v1 from the path and try

const uuid = require('uuid'); 

I tried following changes and it works for me.

const uuidV1 = require('uuid').v1; 

1. npm install uuid --save 

2. import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid'; 

3. Assign which Variable to you want. this is hold on Unique id -

    uuidv4(); 

4. After that you again Install Packages -

   npm install 

5. This is method Working 100% in Angular project.

You will Try...!

Add this in tsConfig.json if you are using Angular version 14:

 "angularCompilerOptions": { "types":["uuid"], } 

Firstly, make sure 'uuid' is installed on your system by typing this command in your command prompt/terminal:

npm i uuid --save 

When installed, in your file where you want to create constant 'uuidV1', make sure you are using the right line of code.

Use this:

const uuidV1 = require('uuid').v1; 

Instead of:

const uuidV1 = require('uuid/v1'); 

This const uuidV1 = require('uuid/v1'); line of code worked just fine for quite some time before (it might work for you as well right now); I'm just showing an alternative for it.

answer is do try this -update your package.json "uuid": "^3.3.2" and npm install its

Just do:

cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules 

then:

npm prune
