Description
-----------

[](#description)

A wrapper package for easy use of the excellent Ramsey\\UUID package. Currently the package generates a version 4 UUID according to [RFC 4122](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122).

This package provides 2 methods of generating a UUID.

1. Static Facade UUID with a generate method.
2. AssignUUID Trait that defaults to a class variable of `$id` or accepts the string name of a class variable to assign the uuid to.

Static Method Example
---------------------

[](#static-method-example)

```
use eig\UUID;

class Example {

    protected $id;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->id = UUID::generate();
    }
}

```

AssignUUID Trait Example
------------------------

[](#assignuuid-trait-example)

```
use eig\UUID\AssignUUID;

class Example
{
    use AssignUUID;

    /**
     * @var
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * Example constructor.
     */
    public function __construct ()
    {
        $this->assignUUID();
    }

    /**
     * getID
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getID()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}

```

Or with a class variable other than `$id`

```
use eig\UUID\AssignUUID;

/**
 * Class AlternateFieldExample
 * @package eig\UUID
 * @license MIT
 * @author James Johnson
 * @author Excellent InGenuity LLC
 */
class AlternateFieldExample
{
    use AssignUUID;

    /**
     * @var
     */
    protected $alternateID;

    /**
     * AlternateFieldExample constructor.
     */
    public function __construct ()
    {
        $this->assignUUID('alternateID');
    }

    /**
     * getAlternateID
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getAlternateID()
    {
        return $this->alternateID;
    }
}

```
