Sync uuid from string

How can I generate a UUID from a string synchronously? In the standard library I only found this async module https://deno.land/std@0.160.0/uuid/v5.ts?s=generate

The randomUUID() method of the Crypto interface is used to generate a v4 UUID using a cryptographically secure random number generator.

@crowlkats Thanks, I don’t need a random one but one that’s replicable from a input string.

You’ll have to create your own generateSync function using crypto.subtle.digestSync.
