# SurrealQL functions

Embedded scripting functions have access to native SurrealQL functions, allowing for complex and performant operations otherwise not possible. SurrealQL functions are published under the `surrealdb.functions` variable. Custom functions are not available within the embedded JavaScript function at the moment.

```surql
RETURN function() {
	// Using the rand::uuid::v4() function
	const uuid = surrealdb.functions.rand.uuid.v4();
};
```
