UUID package for Go language

This package provides pure Go implementation of Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). Supported both creation and parsing of UUIDs.

With 100% test coverage and benchmarks out of box.

Supported versions:

• Version 1, based on timestamp and MAC address (RFC 4122)
• Version 2, based on timestamp, MAC address and POSIX UID/GID (DCE 1.1)
• Version 3, based on MD5 hashing (RFC 4122)
• Version 4, based on random numbers (RFC 4122)
• Version 5, based on SHA-1 hashing (RFC 4122)

Installation

Use the go command:

$ go get github.com/satori/go.uuid

Requirements

UUID package requires any stable version of Go Programming Language.

It is tested against following versions of Go: 1.0-1.5

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/satori/go.uuid"
)

func main() {
	// Creating UUID Version 4
	u1 := uuid.NewV4()
	fmt.Printf("UUIDv4: %s\n", u1)

	// Parsing UUID from string input
	u2, err := uuid.FromString("6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Something gone wrong: %s", err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Successfully parsed: %s", u2)
}

Constants

const (
	VariantNCS = iota
	VariantRFC4122
	VariantMicrosoft
	VariantFuture
)

UUID layout variants.

const (
	DomainPerson = iota
	DomainGroup
	DomainOrg
)

UUID DCE domains.

Variables

var (
	NamespaceDNS, _  = FromString("6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")
	NamespaceURL, _  = FromString("6ba7b811-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")
	NamespaceOID, _  = FromString("6ba7b812-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")
	NamespaceX500, _ = FromString("6ba7b814-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")
)

Predefined namespace UUIDs.

var Nil = UUID{}

The nil UUID is special form of UUID that is specified to have all 128 bits set to zero.

Functions

func Equal

func Equal(u1 UUID, u2 UUID) bool

Equal returns true if u1 and u2 equals, otherwise returns false.

Types

type UUID

type UUID [16]byte

UUID representation compliant with specification described in RFC 4122.

func And

func And(u1 UUID, u2 UUID) UUID

And returns result of binary AND of two UUIDs.

func FromBytes

func FromBytes(input []byte) (u UUID, err error)

FromBytes returns UUID converted from raw byte slice input. It will return error if the slice isn't 16 bytes long.

func FromBytesOrNil

func FromBytesOrNil(input []byte) UUID

FromBytesOrNil returns UUID converted from raw byte slice input. Same behavior as FromBytes, but returns a Nil UUID on error.

func FromString

func FromString(input string) (u UUID, err error)

FromString returns UUID parsed from string input. Input is expected in a form accepted by UnmarshalText.

func FromStringOrNil

func FromStringOrNil(input string) UUID

FromStringOrNil returns UUID parsed from string input. Same behavior as FromString, but returns a Nil UUID on error.

func NewV1

func NewV1() UUID

NewV1 returns UUID based on current timestamp and MAC address.

func NewV2

func NewV2(domain byte) UUID

NewV2 returns DCE Security UUID based on POSIX UID/GID.

func NewV3

func NewV3(ns UUID, name string) UUID

NewV3 returns UUID based on MD5 hash of namespace UUID and name.

func NewV4

func NewV4() UUID

NewV4 returns random generated UUID.

func NewV5

func NewV5(ns UUID, name string) UUID

NewV5 returns UUID based on SHA-1 hash of namespace UUID and name.

func Or

func Or(u1 UUID, u2 UUID) UUID

Or returns result of binary OR of two UUIDs.

func (UUID) Bytes

func (u UUID) Bytes() []byte

Bytes returns bytes slice representation of UUID.

func (UUID) MarshalBinary

func (u UUID) MarshalBinary() (data []byte, err error)

MarshalBinary implements the encoding.BinaryMarshaler interface.

func (UUID) MarshalText

func (u UUID) MarshalText() (text []byte, err error)

MarshalText implements the encoding.TextMarshaler interface. The encoding is the same as returned by String.

func (*UUID) Scan

func (u *UUID) Scan(src interface{}) error

Scan implements the sql.Scanner interface. A 16-byte slice is handled by UnmarshalBinary, while a longer byte slice or a string is handled by UnmarshalText.

func (*UUID) SetVariant

func (u *UUID) SetVariant()

SetVariant sets variant bits as described in RFC 4122.

func (*UUID) SetVersion

func (u *UUID) SetVersion(v byte)

SetVersion sets version bits.

func (UUID) String

func (u UUID) String() string

Returns canonical string representation of UUID: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

func (*UUID) UnmarshalBinary

func (u *UUID) UnmarshalBinary(data []byte) (err error)

UnmarshalBinary implements the encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler interface. It will return error if the slice isn't 16 bytes long.

func (*UUID) UnmarshalText

func (u *UUID) UnmarshalText(text []byte) (err error)

UnmarshalText implements the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface. Following formats are supported: "6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8", "{6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8}", "urn:uuid:6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8"

func (UUID) Variant

func (u UUID) Variant() uint

Variant returns UUID layout variant.

func (UUID) Version

func (u UUID) Version() uint

Version returns algorithm version used to generate UUID.
