ramsey/uuid is a PHP 5.4+ library for generating and working with
|
|
[RFC 4122][rfc4122] version 1, 3, 4, and 5 universally unique identifiers
|
|
(UUID).
|

|

This project adheres to a [Contributor Code of Conduct][conduct]. By

|

code.
|
|
|
|
From [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier):
|
|
|
|
> The intent of UUIDs is to enable distributed systems to uniquely identify
|
|
> information without significant central coordination. In this context the word
|
|
> unique should be taken to mean "practically unique" rather than "guaranteed
|
|
> unique". Since the identifiers have a finite size, it is possible for two
|
|
> differing items to share the same identifier. The identifier size and
|
|
> generation process need to be selected so as to make this sufficiently
|
|
> improbable in practice. Anyone can create a UUID and use it to identify
|
|
> something with reasonable confidence that the same identifier will never be
|
|
> unintentionally created by anyone to identify something else. Information
|
|
> labeled with UUIDs can therefore be later combined into a single database
|
|
> without needing to resolve identifier (ID) conflicts.
|
|
|
|
Much inspiration for this library came from the [Java][javauuid] and
|
|
[Python][pyuuid] UUID libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
The preferred method of installation is via [Composer][]. Run the following
|
|
command to install the package and add it as a requirement to your project's
|
|
`composer.json`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
composer require ramsey/uuid
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading from 2.x to 3.x
|
|
|
|
While we have made significant internal changes to the library, we have made
|
|
every effort to ensure a seamless upgrade path from the 2.x series of this
|
|
library to 3.x.
|
|
|
|
One major breaking change is the transition from the `Rhumsaa` root namespace to
|
|
`Ramsey`. In most cases, all you will need is to change the namespace to
|
|
`Ramsey` in your code, and everything will "just work."
|
|
|
|
Here are full details on the breaking changes to the public API of this library:
|
|
|
|
1. All namespace references of `Rhumsaa` have changed to `Ramsey`. Simply change
|
|
the namespace to `Ramsey` in your code and everything should work.
|
|
2. The console application has moved to
|
|
[ramsey/uuid-console](https://packagist.org/packages/ramsey/uuid-console).
|
|
If using the console functionality, use Composer to require
|
|
`ramsey/uuid-console`.
|
|
3. The Doctrine field type mapping has moved to
|
|
[ramsey/uuid-doctrine](https://packagist.org/packages/ramsey/uuid-doctrine).
|
|
If using the Doctrine functionality, use Composer to require
|
|
`ramsey/uuid-doctrine`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What to do if you see a "rhumsaa/uuid is abandoned" message
|
|
|
|
When installing your project's dependencies using Composer, you might see the
|
|
following message:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Package rhumsaa/uuid is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use
|
|
ramsey/uuid instead.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Don't panic. Simply execute the following commands with Composer:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
composer remove rhumsaa/uuid
|
|
composer require ramsey/uuid=^2.9
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After doing so, you will have the latest ramsey/uuid package in the 2.x series,
|
|
and there will be no need to modify any code; the namespace in the 2.x series is
|
|
still `Rhumsaa`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
Some methods in this library have requirements due to integer size restrictions
|
|
on 32-bit and 64-bit builds of PHP. A 64-bit build of PHP and the
|
|
[Moontoast\Math][] library are recommended. However, this library is designed to
|
|
work on 32-bit builds of PHP without Moontoast\Math, with some degraded
|
|
functionality. Please check the API documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
If a particular requirement is not present, then an
|
|
`UnsatisfiedDependencyException` is thrown, allowing one to catch a bad call in
|
|
an environment where the call is not supported and gracefully degrade.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
See the [cookbook on the wiki][wiki-cookbook] for more examples and approaches
|
|
to specific use-cases.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
|
|
|
|
use Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid;
|
|
use Ramsey\Uuid\Exception\UnsatisfiedDependencyException;
|
|
|
|
try {
|
|
|
|
// Generate a version 1 (time-based) UUID object
|
|
$uuid1 = Uuid::uuid1();
|
|
echo $uuid1->toString() . "\n"; // i.e. e4eaaaf2-d142-11e1-b3e4-080027620cdd
|
|
|
|
// Generate a version 3 (name-based and hashed with MD5) UUID object
|
|
$uuid3 = Uuid::uuid3(Uuid::NAMESPACE_DNS, 'php.net');
|
|
echo $uuid3->toString() . "\n"; // i.e. 11a38b9a-b3da-360f-9353-a5a725514269
|
|
|
|
// Generate a version 4 (random) UUID object
|
|
$uuid4 = Uuid::uuid4();
|
|
echo $uuid4->toString() . "\n"; // i.e. 25769c6c-d34d-4bfe-ba98-e0ee856f3e7a
|
|
|
|
// Generate a version 5 (name-based and hashed with SHA1) UUID object
|
|
$uuid5 = Uuid::uuid5(Uuid::NAMESPACE_DNS, 'php.net');
|
|
echo $uuid5->toString() . "\n"; // i.e. c4a760a8-dbcf-5254-a0d9-6a4474bd1b62
|
|
|
|
} catch (UnsatisfiedDependencyException $e) {
|
|
|
|
// Some dependency was not met. Either the method cannot be called on a
|
|
// 32-bit system, or it can, but it relies on Moontoast\Math to be present.
|
|
echo 'Caught exception: ' . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
```
