UUID Generation in Non-Browser Context (eg. NativeScript)

[BallisticPain]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I import and use uuid in a NativeScript application I receive an error cannot get 'browser' of undefined. Initially I didn't realize this was related to the UUID library. But the moment I removed attempted v4() generation the application compiled without any errors.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love to use uuid as per the documentation even when in a mobile device situation such as NativeScript. I saw the ReactNative support and was hopeful. However, upon a quick peek it didn't seem to be a user friendly solution and I didn't want to attempt to port it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've looked at guid-typescript, however, it is unmaintained even though it's downloaded 67k+ times per week according to NPM.

Another alternative that I have considered is to write a NativeScript plugin that uses Android / iOS functionality to generate the UUIDs but felt that would only benefit a smaller community.

Additional context

I imagine if the solution were implemented very well it could cross all the non-browser contexts. I'm not certain how feasible this is, but I hope this is the right place to ask.

Thanks for this UUID library!

If reordering resolve.mainFields doesn't work for you, feel free to reopen this issue and proved an example as outlined by @broofa above.
