This package provides TypeScript definitions for the uuid library, enabling strong typing and improved developer experience when working with UUIDs in TypeScript projects. It includes interfaces and types for various UUID versions (v1, v3, v4, v5) and related functionalities like validation and parsing. Using these definitions helps catch errors early during development and provides better code completion in IDEs. By installing @types/uuid, TypeScript developers can seamlessly integrate the widely-used UUID generation and manipulation library into their applications.
The @types/uuid package has seen fluctuating release frequency since its first version in October 2016. Releases were sporadic until 2020, when they became more consistent, with multiple versions released in some months. Release frequency slowed down since 2023, with only one release in June 2024 and no releases so far in 2025. Several older versions have been updated, concurrently with the latest major versions.
@types/uuid downloads exhibited strong growth from February 2024 to July 2025. Starting at 11.4 million, downloads surged to a peak of 131.7 million in July 2025. August 2025 shows a slight decrease to 101.9 million, but this is partial data for the month.
