hilalahmad/php-uuid
===================

UUIDs are used to create unique identifiers that are often used in distributed systems, databases, and various software applications to ensure the uniqueness of data elements. In PHP, packages related to UUIDs typically provide functions or classes for generating, parsing, and manipulating UUIDs. These packages can be useful in scenarios where unique identifiers are needed to avoid conflicts or ensure data integrity.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install this package using Composer, a popular PHP package manager:

```
composer require hilalahmad/php-uuid
```

Generating a UUID
-----------------

[](#generating-a-uuid)

To generate a new UUID, use the following code:

```
use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;

$uuid = UUID::generate();
echo $uuid;
```

Generating a UUID1
------------------

[](#generating-a-uuid1)

To generate a new UUID, use the following code:

```
use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;

$uuid = UUID::uuid1();
echo $uuid;
```

Generating a UUID2
------------------

[](#generating-a-uuid2)

To generate a new UUID, use the following code:

```
use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;

$uuid = UUID::uuid2();

echo $uuid;
```

Parsing a UUID
--------------

[](#parsing-a-uuid)

You can parse an existing UUID from a string:

```
use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;
$uuidString = "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000";

$uuid = UUID::parseUuid($uuidString);
print_r($uuid);
```

Checking UUID Validity
----------------------

[](#checking-uuid-validity)

You can check the validity of a UUID:

```
use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;
$uuidString = "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000";

$uuid = UUID::isValidUuid($uuidString);
if($uuid){
  echo " it is valid uuid";
}else{
  echo "it is not valid";
}
```

Converting UUID to String
-------------------------

[](#converting-uuid-to-string)

You can convert a UUID object to a string:

```
use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;
$uuid = "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000";

$uuid = UUID::uuidToString($uuidString);
echo $uuid;
```

Comparing UUIDs
---------------

[](#comparing-uuids)

You can compare two UUIDs for equality:

```
use Hilalahmad\PhpUuid\Uuid;

$uuid1 = '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000';
$uuid2 = '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001';

$uuid = UUID::compareUuids($uuid1,$uuid2);
if($uuid
