Is it possible to create a Javascript version of UUID generator equivalent to Java's

Is it possible to create a javascript version of UUID generator equivalent to Java's UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes("Hello world".getBytes(Charsets.UTF_8)). Is there anything available for Javascript or Jquery.

It should return the exact UUID for an input string for both Java and Javascript versions. Here is the Java version of doing it, https://ideone.com/GYvxCE for reference.

Please help.

Thank you guys, for your help. I modified solution provided by @Akrion and it worked for me.

The modified solution is below.

const crypto = require('crypto');
const hexToUuid = require('hex-to-uuid');

const java_kind_hash = (input) => {
    var md5Bytes = crypto.createHash('md5').update(input).digest()
    md5Bytes[6] &= 0x0f;  // clear version 
    md5Bytes[6] |= 0x30;  // set to version 3 
    md5Bytes[8] &= 0x3f;  // clear variant 
    md5Bytes[8] |= 0x80;  // set to IETF variant
    return hexToUuid(md5Bytes.toString('hex'))
}

console.log('java_kind_hash ', java_kind_hash ("HelloWorld"));
    // 68e109f0-f40c-372a-95e0-5cc22786f8e6
