ramsey/uuid-console is a console application for generating UUIDs with ramsey/uuid.
This project adheres to a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project and its community, you are expected to uphold this code.
The preferred method of installation is via Packagist and 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
