### About

[](#about)

Since Laravel `4.*` and `5.*` both rely on either `OpenSSL` or `Mcrypt`, the pseudo random byte generator now tries to use one of them. If both cannot be used (not a Laravel project?), the 'less random' `mt_rand()` function is used.

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- [Laravel 5.3 - 10](https://laravel.com/docs/installation)

### Installation

[](#installation)

##### Laravel 5.5 and above

[](#laravel-55-and-above)

1. From your projects root folder in terminal run:

```
    composer require jeremykenedy/uuid
```

- Uses package auto discovery feature, no need to edit the `config/app.php` file.

##### Laravel 5.4 and below

[](#laravel-54-and-below)

1. From your projects root folder in terminal run:

```
    composer require jeremykenedy/uuid:2.1.2
```

2. Register the package with laravel in `config/app.php` under `aliases` with the following:

```
    'aliases' => [
        'Uuid' => jeremykenedy\Uuid\Uuid::class,
    ];
```

### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

To quickly generate a UUID just do

```
    Uuid::generate()
```

- This will generate a version 1 with a random ganerated MAC address.

### Advanced Usage

[](#advanced-usage)

#### UUID creation

[](#uuid-creation)

##### UUID V1

[](#uuid-v1)

Generate a version 1, time-based, UUID. You can set the optional node to the MAC address. If not supplied it will generate a random MAC address.

```
Uuid::generate(1,'00:11:22:33:44:55');
```

##### UUID V3

[](#uuid-v3)

Generate a version 3, name-based using MD5 hashing, UUID

```
Uuid::generate(3,'test', Uuid::NS_DNS);
```

##### UUID V4

[](#uuid-v4)

Generate a version 4, truly random, UUID

```
Uuid::generate(4);
```

##### UUID V5

[](#uuid-v5)

Generate a version 5, name-based using SHA-1 hashing, UUID

```
Uuid::generate(5,'test', Uuid::NS_DNS);
```

### Additional Features

[](#additional-features)

###### Import UUID

[](#import-uuid)

- To import a UUID

```
$uuid = Uuid::import('d3d29d70-1d25-11e3-8591-034165a3a613');
```

###### Extract Time

[](#extract-time)

- Extract the time for a time-based UUID (version 1)

```
$uuid = Uuid::generate(1);
dd($uuid->time);
```

###### Extract Version

[](#extract-version)

- Extract the version of an UUID

```
$uuid = Uuid::generate(4);
dd($uuid->version);
```

### Changelog

[](#changelog)

##### 2.\*

[](#2)

- Laravel Uuid is now fully PSR-2, just like Laravel 5.1.
- Not that much has changed except for UPPERCASING the constants used in Laravel Uuid.
- Meaning `Uuid::nsDNS` is now `Uuid::NS_DNS` etc. Should be an easy fix.

### Credits
