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());
```
