Convert string to UUID format in Javascript
This is how to convert a 32 characters string into UUID format with - dash as separator on each 8 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 12 characters.

function insertString(str, index, value) {
return str.substr(0, index) + value + str.substr(index);
}
function converToUUID(str){
_uuid = insertString(_uuid, 8, '-')
_uuid = insertString(_uuid, 13, '-')
_uuid = insertString(_uuid, 18, '-')
_uuid = insertString(_uuid, 23, '-')
return _uuid
}The idea is we insert a string on each of “X” characters. I use a simple insertString function that I found on stackoverflow answers.
The number 8, 13, 18, 23 is when the position of dash ”-” after we insert each one of them.
