Laravel package to generate and to validate a universally unique identifier (UUID) according to the RFC 4122 standard. Support for version 1, 3, 4 and 5 UUIDs are built-in.

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.

Laravel 5.5?
------------

[](#laravel-55)

Use laravel-uuid [version 3.0 ](https://github.com/webpatser/laravel-uuid)

What's new in 2.\*
------------------

[](#whats-new-in-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.

For the 1.\* branch check the docs [here](https://github.com/webpatser/laravel-uuid/tree/1.5)

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

[](#installation)

Add `webpatser/laravel-uuid` to `composer.json`.

```
"webpatser/laravel-uuid": "^2.0"
```

Run `composer update` to pull down the latest version of Laravel UUID.

Or install it directly from the command line using

```
composer require "webpatser/laravel-uuid:2.*"
```

In Laravel 5.5 laravel-uuid will install via the new Package Discovery feature

For Laravel <= 5.4: edit `config/app.php` and add the `provider` and `alias`

```
'providers' => [
    // ommited

    \Webpatser\Uuid\UuidServiceProvider::class,
]

'aliases' => [
    // ommited

    'Uuid' => Webpatser\Uuid\Uuid::class,
]
```

For Laravel 4: edit `app/config/app.php` and add the `alias`

```
'aliases' => array(
    // ommited
    'Uuid' => 'Webpatser\Uuid\Uuid',
)
```

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)

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');
```

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

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

Generate a version 4, truly random, UUID

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

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

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

### Some magic features

[](#some-magic-features)

To import a UUID

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

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

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

Extract the version of an UUID

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

Validation
----------

[](#validation)

Just use like any other Laravel validator.

`'uuid-field' => 'uuid'`

Or create a validator from scratch. In the example an Uuid object in validated. You can also validate strings `$uuid->string`, the URN `$uuid->urn` or the binary value `$uuid->bytes`

```
$uuid = Uuid::generate();
$validator = Validator::make(['uuid' => $uuid], ['uuid' => 'uuid']);
dd($validator->passes());
```

Useful information in the reports module : xclass, ajax, cliKeys, eID, general status of the system (encoding, DB, php vars...), hooks, compare local and TER extension (diff), used content type, used plugins, ExtDirect... It can really help you during migration or new existing project (to have a global reports of the system).
