Question

Maybe I’m missing it but I’m not seeing where Spine.js generates unique ids for newly created records.

An example of this is clicking ‘New Contact’ in the Spine Contacts example (http://spine-contacts.herokuapp.com) and seeing the id in the url.

If you can explain how and include the line numbers from the source, that would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

based on their code from github spine.js the following function does the guid generation:

guid = function() {
    return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {
        var r, v;
        r = Math.random() * 16 | 0;
        v = c === 'x' ? r : r & 3 | 8;
        return v.toString(16);
    }).toUpperCase();
};
