Overview

Package uuid exports typing for UUIDs. Sub-packages export functions for generating UUIDs of different types.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"4d63.com/uuid"
)

func main() {
	id, _ := uuid.Parse("08827178-0ad4-11e7-b5df-b3f54921aa61")

	fmt.Println("String:", id.String())
	fmt.Println("Timestamp:", id.Timestamp())

}

Output:

String: 08827178-0ad4-11e7-b5df-b3f54921aa61
Timestamp: 1290011724057047416

Types

type UUID

type UUID [16]byte

UUID is an implementation of the UUID RFC4122 standard. Ref: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt

func New

func New(b [16]byte) UUID

New creates a UUID from a [16]byte.

func Parse

func Parse(s string) (UUID, error)

Parse parses the hyphenated UUID string for a UUID.

func (UUID) String

func (id UUID) String() string

String returns a text hyphenated hexadecimal representation of the UUID.

func (UUID) Timestamp

func (id UUID) Timestamp() int64

Timestamp returns the integer value of the time portion of the UUID in 100ns intervals since Oct 15, 1582.

Note: All UUIDs have a time bits, but only TimeUUIDs (UUID v1) contain the time in these bits, making the return value of this function relatively useless for other UUIDs.
