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

• Laravel 5.3, 5.4 or newer

Installation

1. From your projects root folder in terminal run:

    composer require rubiconinternational/uuid

1. Register the package with laravel in config/app.php under aliases with the following:

    'aliases' => [
        'Uuid' => rubiconinternational\Uuid\Uuid::class,
    ];

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

UUID creation

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

Generate a version 3, name-based using MD5 hashing, UUID

Uuid::generate(3,'test', Uuid::NS_DNS);

UUID V4

Generate a version 4, truly random, UUID

Uuid::generate(4);

UUID V5

Generate a version 5, name-based using SHA-1 hashing, UUID

Uuid::generate(5,'test', Uuid::NS_DNS);

Additional Features

Import UUID

• To import a UUID

$uuid = Uuid::import('d3d29d70-1d25-11e3-8591-034165a3a613');

Extract Time

• Extract the time for a time-based UUID (version 1)

$uuid = Uuid::generate(1);
dd($uuid->time);

Extract Version

• Extract the version of an UUID

$uuid = Uuid::generate(4);
dd($uuid->version);

Changelog

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

• Full development credit must go to webpatser. This package was forked and modified to be compliant with MIT licencing standards for production use.
