Google Cloud Functions UUID sample

This sample shows a Google Cloud Function that uses a dependency from NPM, and is a handy way to generate a v4 UUID from the command-line.

Follow the Cloud Functions quickstart guide to setup Cloud Functions for your project.

Clone this repository:

 git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/nodejs-docs-samples.git
 cd nodejs-docs-samples/functions/uuid

Create a Cloud Storage Bucket to stage our deployment:
```
 gsutil mb gs://[YOUR_BUCKET_NAME]
```
- Replace [YOUR_BUCKET_NAME] with the name of your Cloud Storage Bucket.
Deploy the uuid function with an HTTP trigger:
```
 gcloud alpha functions deploy uuid --bucket [YOUR_BUCKET_NAME] --trigger-http
```
- Replace [YOUR_BUCKET_NAME] with the name of your Cloud Storage Bucket.

Call the uuid function:

 gcloud alpha functions call uuid

You should see something like this in your console:

 executionId: abcd1234-0
 result: 0ef22088-07f2-44ca-9cef-cea8ff666d69
