var guid = new DevExpress.data.Guid();
Angular

// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor() {
        let guid = new Guid();
    }
}

Parameters:
value:

String

A string representation of the GUID.

Hyphens in the GUID are optional:

jQuery

var guid = new DevExpress.data.Guid("40810dcc-e08b-10a2-8227-c67c8933c31a");
// or
var guid = new DevExpress.data.Guid("40810dcce08b10a28227c67c8933c31a");
Angular
TypeScript
import Guid from "devextreme/core/guid";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor() {
        let guid = new Guid("40810dcc-e08b-10a2-8227-c67c8933c31a");
        // or
        let guid = new Guid("40810dcce08b10a28227c67c8933c31a");
    }
}

toString()

Gets the GUID. Works identically to the valueOf() method.

jQuery

var guid = new DevExpress.data.Guid("40810dcce08b10a28227c67c8933c31a");
console.log(guid.toString()); // logs 40810dcc-e08b-10a2-8227-c67c8933c31a
Angular
TypeScript
import Guid from "devextreme/core/guid";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor() {
        let guid = new Guid("40810dcce08b10a28227c67c8933c31a");
        console.log(guid.toString()); // logs 40810dcc-e08b-10a2-8227-c67c8933c31a
    }
}
