DevExtreme Angular - Guid Methods

This section describes methods that control a Guid instance.

ctor()

Creates a new Guid instance that contains a generated GUID.

TypeScript
  • import Guid from "devextreme/core/guid";
  • // ...
  • export class AppComponent {
  • constructor() {
  • let guid = new Guid();
  • }
  • }

ctor(value)

Creates a new Guid instance that contains the specified GUID.

Parameters:
value:

String

A string representation of the GUID.

Hyphens in the GUID are optional:

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.

Return Value:

String

The GUID.

The returned GUID is always hyphened even if the Guid was created with a non-hyphened version:

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
  • }
  • }

valueOf()

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

Return Value:

String

The GUID.

The returned GUID is always hyphened even if the Guid was created with a non-hyphened version:

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