This is a fork of satori/go.uuid that won't change the existing API. I am committed to maintaining this fork and responding to bug reports as appropriate.
Note the upstream satori/go.uuid has a critical error that may lead to non-random UUID's. This fork is not vulnerable to that issue.
This package provides a pure Go implementation of Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs). Supports 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)
The most common UUID used today is v4, which provides a random sequence of 16 bytes.
Use the go
command:
$ go get github.com/kevinburke/go.uuid
UUID package requires Go >= 1.5.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/kevinburke/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)
}
