UUID Versions 1, 3, 4 and 5 are supported. With MIT license. - [About](#about) - [Requirements](#requirements) - [Installation](#installation) - [Basic Usage](#basic-usage) - [Advanced Usage](#advanced-usage) - [UUID creation](#uuid-creation) - [UUID V1](#uuid-v1) - [UUID V3](#uuid-v3) - [UUID V4](#uuid-v4) - [UUID V5](#uuid-v5) - [Additional Features](#additional-features) - [Import UUID](#import-uuid) - [Extract time](#extract-time) - [Extract Version](#extract-version) - [Changelog](#changelog) - [2.\*](#2.*) - [License](#license) - [Credits](#credits) ### 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, 5.4 or newer](https://laravel.com/docs/installation) ### Installation [](#installation) 1. From your projects root folder in terminal run: ``` composer require rubiconinternational/uuid ``` 2. Register the package with laravel in `config/app.php` under `aliases` with the following: ``` 'aliases' => [ 'Uuid' => rubiconinternational\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 [](#credits) - Full development credit must go to [webpatser](https://github.com/webpatser). This package was forked and modified to be compliant with [MIT](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) licencing standards for production use.
