yuyuid

Go uuid library.

Installation

go get github.com/komuw/yuyuid

Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/komuw/yuyuid"
)

func main() {
	UUID4 := yuyuid.UUID4()
	fmt.Println("UUID4 is", UUID4)

	UUID5 := yuyuid.UUID5(yuyuid.NamespaceDNS, "SomeName")
	fmt.Println("UUID5", UUID5)
}

FAQ

Why?

• golang doesn't have an inbuilt uuid lib
• pet project to help me learn golang

Is it done yet?

• Yes
• Only uuid versions 3, 4 and 5 are implemented. I don't think I'll ever implement uuid version 1

Overview

Package yuyuid provides an implementation of Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) version 3, 4 and 5.

Example usage:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/komuw/yuyuid"
)

func main() {
	UUID4 := yuyuid.UUID4()
	fmt.Println("UUID4 is", UUID4)

	UUID5 := yuyuid.UUID5(yuyuid.NamespaceDNS, "SomeName")
	fmt.Println("UUID5", UUID5)
}

The following standard UUIDs are for use with UUID3() or UUID5().

Types

type UUID

type UUID [16]byte

UUID represents a UUID

func UUID3

func UUID3(namespace UUID, name string) UUID

UUID3 generates a version 3 UUID

func UUID4

func UUID4() UUID

UUID4 generates a version 4 UUID

func UUID5

func UUID5(namespace UUID, name string) UUID

UUID5 generates a version 5 UUID

func (UUID) String

func (u UUID) String() string
