I already implemented this with custom code for my project but as I’ve seen some people asking for UUID in the forum I thought I would open a FR for a similar but better approach to unique ids.

A tiny, secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator for JavaScript.

We will show you the generated UUID using a simple set value step.
We created an API Actio…
