Source

export function generateTraceId(): string {
  const bytes = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16));
  const id = Array.from(bytes, (byte) => byte.toString(16).padStart(2, '0')).join('');
  // An all-zero id is invalid in OpenTelemetry (a 1-in-2^128 chance, but cheap to rule out).
  return TRACE_ID_PATTERN.test(id) ? id : generateTraceId();
