Generating a random GUID from Cobalt Javascript

Ryan Morlok

Is there a standard method to generate a random GUID from client side Javascript? I understand that you cannot generate true GUIDs from Javascript (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/105034/how-to-create-a-guid-uuid-in-javascript) but I am curious if there a standard implementation we use to generate guids.

Should have searched a little harder before asking:

$/Cobalt Static Content/Development/StaticContent/site/js/v1/Core/Cobalt.js; line 5584:

Cobalt.Hub.CreateUUID = function Cobalt$Hub$CreateUUID()

It even references the same StackOverflow article.

Yeah... I'm still not so sure why that is considered part of the Hub, but it is indeed our standard function for generating GUIDs.

Of course it references that stackoverflow question, look at the #3 answer.
