Constructor Detail

def self.new(bytes : StaticArray(UInt8, 16), variant : UUID::Variant? = nil, version : UUID::Version? = nil) #

Generates UUID from bytes, applying version and variant to the UUID if present.


[View source]
def self.new(slice : Slice(UInt8), variant = nil, version = nil) #

Creates UUID from 16-bytes slice. Raises if slice isn't 16 bytes long. See #initialize for variant and version.


[View source]
def self.new(uuid : UUID, variant = nil, version = nil) #

Creates another UUID which is a copy of uuid, but allows overriding variant or version.


[View source]
def self.new(value : String, variant = nil, version = nil) #

Creates new UUID by decoding value string from hyphenated (ie. ba714f86-cac6-42c7-8956-bcf5105e1b81), hexstring (ie. 89370a4ab66440c8add39e06f2bb6af6) or URN (ie. urn:uuid:3f9eaf9e-cdb0-45cc-8ecb-0e5b2bfb0c20) format.


[View source]
def self.new(pull : JSON::PullParser) #

Creates UUID from JSON using JSON::PullParser.

NOTE require "uuid/json" is required to opt-in to this feature.

require "json"
require "uuid"
require "uuid/json"

class Example
  JSON.mapping id: UUID
end

example = Example.from_json(%({"id": "ba714f86-cac6-42c7-8956-bcf5105e1b81"}))
example.id # => UUID(ba714f86-cac6-42c7-8956-bcf5105e1b81)

def self.empty #

[View source]
def self.random(random = Random::Secure, variant = Variant::RFC4122, version = Version::V4) #

Generates RFC 4122 v4 UUID.

It is strongly recommended to use a cryptographically random source for random, such as Random::Secure.

Instance Method Detail

def ==(other : UUID) #

Returns true if other UUID represents the same UUID, false otherwise.


[View source]
def bytes : StaticArray(UInt8, 16) #

Returns the binary representation of the UUID.


[View source]
def hexstring #

[View source]
def inspect(io : IO) : Nil #

Convert to String in literal format.


[View source]
def to_json(json : JSON::Builder) #

NOTE require "uuid/json" is required to opt-in to this feature.

uuid = UUID.new("87b3042b-9b9a-41b7-8b15-a93d3f17025e")
uuid.to_json # => "\"87b3042b-9b9a-41b7-8b15-a93d3f17025e\""

[View source]
