Overview ¶
Package uuid provides implementations of the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), as specified in RFC-4122 and the Peabody RFC Draft (revision 02).
RFC-4122[1] provides the specification for versions 1, 3, 4, and 5. The Peabody UUID RFC Draft[2] provides the specification for the new k-sortable UUIDs, versions 6 and 7.
DCE 1.1[3] provides the specification for version 2, but version 2 support was removed from this package in v4 due to some concerns with the specification itself. Reading the spec, it seems that it would result in generating UUIDs that aren't very unique. In having read the spec it seemed that our implementation did not meet the spec. It also seems to be at-odds with RFC 4122, meaning we would need quite a bit of special code to support it. Lastly, there were no Version 2 implementations that we could find to ensure we were understanding the specification correctly.

UUID versions.
const ( VariantNCS byte = iota VariantRFC4122 VariantMicrosoft VariantFuture )
UUID layout variants.
const ( DomainPerson = iota DomainGroup DomainOrg )
UUID DCE domains.
const Size = 16
Size of a UUID in bytes.
Variables ¶
var ( NamespaceDNS = Must(FromString("6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")) NamespaceURL = Must(FromString("6ba7b811-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")) NamespaceOID = Must(FromString("6ba7b812-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")) NamespaceX500 = Must(FromString("6ba7b814-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")) )
Predefined namespace UUIDs.
var Nil = UUID{}
Nil is the nil UUID, as specified in RFC-4122, that has all 128 bits set to zero.
Functions ¶

Types ¶
type Generator ¶
type Generator interface { NewV1() (UUID, error) NewV2(domain byte) (UUID, error) NewV3(ns UUID, name string) UUID NewV4() (UUID, error) NewV5(ns UUID, name string) UUID }
Generator provides interface for generating UUIDs.
type NullUUID ¶
NullUUID can be used with the standard sql package to represent a UUID value that can be NULL in the database.
func (NullUUID) MarshalJSON ¶
MarshalJSON marshals the NullUUID as null or the nested UUID
func (*NullUUID) UnmarshalJSON ¶
UnmarshalJSON unmarshals a NullUUID
type Timestamp ¶
type Timestamp uint64
Timestamp is the count of 100-nanosecond intervals since 00:00:00.00, 15 October 1582 within a V1 UUID. This type has no meaning for other UUID versions since they don't have an embedded timestamp.
func TimestampFromV1 ¶
TimestampFromV1 returns the Timestamp embedded within a V1 UUID. Returns an error if the UUID is any version other than 1.
func TimestampFromV6 ¶
TimestampFromV6 returns the Timestamp embedded within a V6 UUID. This function returns an error if the UUID is any version other than 6.
This is implemented based on revision 01 of the Peabody UUID draft, and may be subject to change pending further revisions. Until the final specification revision is finished, changes required to implement updates to the spec will not be considered a breaking change. They will happen as a minor version releases until the spec is final.
type UUID ¶
UUID is an array type to represent the value of a UUID, as defined in RFC-4122.
func FromBytes ¶
FromBytes returns UUID converted from raw byte slice input. It will return error if the slice isn't 16 bytes long.
func FromBytesOrNil ¶
FromBytesOrNil returns UUID converted from raw byte slice input. Same behavior as FromBytes, but returns a Nil UUID on error.
func FromString ¶
FromString returns UUID parsed from string input. Input is expected in a form accepted by UnmarshalText.
func FromStringOrNil ¶
FromStringOrNil returns UUID parsed from string input. Same behavior as FromString, but returns a Nil UUID on error.
func Must ¶
Must is a helper that wraps a call to a function returning (UUID, error) and panics if the error is non-nil. It is intended for use in variable initializations such as
var packageUUID = uuid.Must(uuid.FromString("123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000"))
func (UUID) Format ¶
Format implements fmt.Formatter for UUID values.
The behavior is as follows: The 'x' and 'X' verbs output only the hex digits of the UUID, using a-f for 'x' and A-F for 'X'. The 'v', '+v', 's' and 'q' verbs return the canonical RFC-4122 string representation. The 'S' verb returns the RFC-4122 format, but with capital hex digits. The '#v' verb returns the "Go syntax" representation, which is a 16 byte array initializer. All other verbs not handled directly by the fmt package (like '%p') are unsupported and will return "%!verb(uuid.UUID=value)" as recommended by the fmt package.
func (UUID) MarshalBinary ¶
MarshalBinary implements the encoding.BinaryMarshaler interface.
func (UUID) MarshalText ¶
MarshalText implements the encoding.TextMarshaler interface. The encoding is the same as returned by String.
func (*UUID) Scan ¶
Scan implements the sql.Scanner interface. A 16-byte slice will be handled by UnmarshalBinary, while a longer byte slice or a string will be handled by UnmarshalText.
func (UUID) String ¶
String returns a canonical RFC-4122 string representation of the UUID: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.
func (*UUID) UnmarshalBinary ¶
UnmarshalBinary implements the encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler interface. It will return error if the slice isn't 16 bytes long.
func (*UUID) UnmarshalText ¶
UnmarshalText implements the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface. Following formats are supported:
"6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8", "{6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8}", "urn:uuid:6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8" "6ba7b8109dad11d180b400c04fd430c8"
ABNF for supported UUID text representation follows:
uuid := canonical | hashlike | braced | urn plain := canonical | hashlike canonical := 4hexoct '-' 2hexoct '-' 2hexoct '-' 6hexoct hashlike := 12hexoct braced := '{' plain '}' urn := URN ':' UUID-NID ':' plain URN := 'urn' UUID-NID := 'uuid' 12hexoct := 6hexoct 6hexoct 6hexoct := 4hexoct 2hexoct 4hexoct := 2hexoct 2hexoct 2hexoct := hexoct hexoct hexoct := hexdig hexdig hexdig := '0' | '1' | '2' | '3' | '4' | '5' | '6' | '7' | '8' | '9' | 'a' | 'b' | 'c' | 'd' | 'e' | 'f' | 'A' | 'B' | 'C' | 'D' | 'E' | 'F'
