A console application for generating UUIDs with ramsey/uuid
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.
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
.
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
