This project adheres to a [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). By participating in this project and its community, you are expected to uphold this code. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install this package as a dependency using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org). ``` composer require ramsey/uuid-console ``` This will install a reference to the console tool in `./vendor/bin/uuid`. Usage ----- [](#usage) If installed in your project, you may execute the console application from the command line: ``` $ ./vendor/bin/uuid ``` If installed globally using Composer, ensure your global Composer installation is in your `PATH` (it's usually somewhere like `~/.composer/vendor/bin`). Then, you may execute it: ``` $ uuid ``` Please be aware that some systems may already have a command line application named `uuid` installed, so this might create a conflict if anything using your `PATH` expects the other `uuid` tool. You can generate UUIDs: ``` $ ./vendor/bin/uuid generate afe1296a-660b-11e5-bd9f-3c15c2caed47 ``` By default, the application generates version 1 (time-based) UUIDs, but you may specify other versions: ``` $ ./vendor/bin/uuid generate 4 54478f1d-8b9d-4bf9-8767-1a23010d48a7 ``` You may also decode UUIDs to get information about them: ``` $ ./vendor/bin/uuid decode afe1296a-660b-11e5-bd9f-3c15c2caed47 ========= ========== ========================================= encode: STR: afe1296a-660b-11e5-bd9f-3c15c2caed47 INT: 233784006064090443909084029429027106119 decode: variant: RFC 4122 version: 1 (time and node based) content: time: 2015-09-28T18:06:49+00:00 clock: 15775 (usually random) node: 3c:15:c2:ca:ed:47 ========= ========== ========================================= ``` For help, just type `./vendor/bin/uuid` and read the help information.
