Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/): ``` composer require tankfairies/laravel-guid ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) There are four GUID types available. GUID Version: - ``` GuidInterface::UUID_TIME -> Time based UUID (version 1) GuidInterface::UUID_NAME_MD5 -> Name based (MD5) UUID (version 3) GuidInterface::UUID_RANDOM -> Random UUID (version 4) GuidInterface::UUID_NAME_SHA1 -> Name based (SHA1) UUID (version 5) ``` All the GUIDs can be generated in one of three formats String, binary and byte. GUID format: - ``` GuidInterface::FMT_STRING GuidInterface::FMT_BINARY GuidInterface::FMT_BYTE ``` #### Laravel [](#laravel) Register the package service provider in `config/app.php` file. ``` 'providers' => [ Tankfairies\LaravelGuid\GuidServiceProvider::class, ] ``` Create GUID ----------- [](#create-guid) This will generate a random GUID ``` echo "GUID: " . guid(); // example output: 2b23924f-0eaa-4133-848e-7ce1edeca8c9 ``` The guid function has four parameters: - ``` guid(version, format, salt, namespace) ``` The salt needs to be at least 6 characters long and is only required for a `UUID_TIME`. It can also be optionally used for `UUID_NAME_MD5` and `UUID_NAME_SHA1`. `UUID_NAME_MD5` and `UUID_NAME_SHA1` require the *namespace* parameter to be filled.
