NPM: Cannot find module 'uuid'

Question

I have this message when i try to use npm:

> $ npm module.js:472     throw err;     ^  Error: Cannot found module 'uuid'     at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:470:15)     at Function.Module._load (module.ks:418:25)     at Module.require (module.js:498:17)     at require (internal/module.js:20:19)     at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/lib/utils/metrics.js:10:12)     at Module._compile (module.js:571:32)     at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:580:10)     at Module.load (module.js:488:32)     at tryModuleLoad (module.js:447:12)     at Function.Module._load (module.js:439:3) 

I tried to uninstall reinstall with brew but without success.

Answer 1

You might have seen the error because of this

const uuidv1 = require('uuid/v1'); 

try to replace it with this one

const { v1: uuidv1 } = require('uuid'); 

Answer 2

You can try (ECMAScript Module syntax)

import { v1 as uuidv1 } from 'uuid'; console.log(uuidv1()); //=> f68f7b70-9606-11ea-9ccc-fbd3ee221c8f 

With v4

import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid'; uuidv4(); // ⇨ '9b1deb4d-3b7d-4bad-9bdd-2b0d7b3dcb6d'
