Device id is null on computer

From Ionic doc I'm using ionic native device plugin to get my device id.

The problem is when I test app on computer (in Chrome browser) device id is null. however when I run my app on mobile the it gives a unique alpha numeric string.

I want to know why it is null or computer. and is there any difference in device id and mac address. I think mac address is also a unique number for each device.

import {Device} from 'ionic-native';

platform.ready().then(() => {
   console.log(Device.device.uuid);
}

try this if you still need it.(I guess No, but leave it here for somebody met the same problem)

Device is never null.

If you run ionic emulate browser you will get

cordova:"4.1.0"
isVirtual:null
manufacturer:"unknown"
model:"Chrome"
platform:"browser"
serial:"unknown"
uuid:null
version:"58.0.3029.110

Native plugin only works when using cordova (i.e. executing on a platform: ios, android, browser). But when you only uses the webview ionic serve then plugins are empty objects:

cordova:null
isVirtual:null
manufacturer:null
model:null
platform:null
serial:null
uuid:null
version:null
