README

uuid4

My own minimalist Go library that generates uuid's that implement v4, variant 10.

Securely uses crypto/rand for random number generation.

Usage

First, get it:

go get -v git.cmcode.dev/cmcode/uuid

Now, in a main.go file:

package main

import (
    "log"

    uuid "git.cmcode.dev/cmcode/uuid"
)

func main() {
    u := uuid.New() // generates the uuid
    log.Println(u)  // prints the uuid to console
}

You can also check out uuid_test.go to see the unit tests.

Functions

func New

func New() string

New generates a uuid v4 variant 10. If an error is encountered when trying to acquire cryptographically secure randomness for the UUID, the app will panic.
