How to generate unique id for each user at time of registration in react native?

Question

For identifying each user i am trying to generate unique id at the time of registration in react native.How is it possible? Thanks in advance

Will the ID be displayed to the user? Is this just a database ID? Will this ID be used in the URL to link to a user profile? — Kiril, Jul 11 '17 at 09:07
No this ID will not be displayed to the user.I want this ID to be set as session.So that each time i can check whether the user is logged in or not. — Linu Sherin, Jul 11 '17 at 09:20
When user registration call API and generate unique id on server after successful registration return unique id to app and save it — Nisarg Thakkar, Jul 11 '17 at 09:22

the best way is using an UUID generator. to install UUID generator use the two following cammands

$ npm install react-native-uuid-generator --save

$ react-native link react-native-uuid-generator

then import from 'react-native-uuid-generator'

import UUIDGenerator from 'react-native-uuid-generator';

You can set a timestamp for every user as id, but uuid is the best solution.
