related-uuid v1.0.1

related-uuid

Create a consistent UUID based off another UUID and a key.

When you want to consistently generated UUIDs for related entities from a thing that is addressable by a UUID

  var relatedUUID = require('related-uuid')

  // ...

  var object = JSON.parse(jsonFromSomeOtherDataSource)

  var myRelatedObject = {
    uuid: relatedUUID(object.uuid, 'MyRelatedObject'),
    my: 'thing'
  }

Now every time you load the object from another data source and you return your related object your related object will have a UUID that stays consistent for that loaded object.
