About

ramsey/uuid-console is a console application for generating UUIDs with ramsey/uuid.

This project adheres to a code of conduct. By participating in this project and its community, you are expected to uphold this code.

Installation

Install this package as a dependency using Composer.

composer require ramsey/uuid-console

This will install a reference to the console tool in ./vendor/bin/uuid.

Usage

If installed in your project, you may execute the console application from the command line:

$ ./vendor/bin/uuid

If installed globally using Composer, ensure your global Composer installation is in your PATH (it's usually somewhere like ~/.composer/vendor/bin). Then, you may execute it:

$ uuid

Please be aware that some systems may already have a command line application named uuid installed, so this might create a conflict if anything using your PATH expects the other uuid tool.

You can generate UUIDs:

$ ./vendor/bin/uuid generate
afe1296a-660b-11e5-bd9f-3c15c2caed47

By default, the application generates version 1 (time-based) UUIDs, but you may specify other versions:

$ ./vendor/bin/uuid generate 4
54478f1d-8b9d-4bf9-8767-1a23010d48a7

You may also decode UUIDs to get information about them:

$ ./vendor/bin/uuid decode afe1296a-660b-11e5-bd9f-3c15c2caed47
