How to remove dashes in UUID with nodejs?

Question

I'm trying to remove the dashes in the UUID by using the replace function on NodeJS but unsuccessful as it always returns with dashes.

const { v4: uuidv4 } = require('uuid');

const uuid = uuidv4().toString()

console.log(uuid.replace("-",""))

The code above is what I'm trying to do to remove the dashes. Thanks

If you're on Node 15+, you can use `replaceAll("-", "")` instead. — Sebastian Redl, Jan 14 '22 at 08:26

function replace only try 1 times

you can replace all '-' use RegExp like this:

uuid.replace(/-/gi, '');
