Constructor Detail

def self.empty : self #

[View source]
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
  include JSON::Serializable

  property id : UUID
end

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

Class Method Detail

def self.from_json_object_key?(key : String) #

Deserializes the given JSON key into a UUID.

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


[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) : Int32 #
Description copied from module Comparable(UUID)

The comparison operator. Returns 0 if the two objects are equal, a negative number if this object is considered less than other, a positive number if this object is considered greater than other, or nil if the two objects are not comparable.

Subclasses define this method to provide class-specific ordering.

The comparison operator is usually used to sort values:

# Sort in a descending way:
[3, 1, 2].sort { |x, y| y <=> x } # => [3, 2, 1]

# Sort in an ascending way:
[3, 1, 2].sort { |x, y| x <=> y } # => [1, 2, 3]

[View source]
def ==(other : self) #

def bytes : StaticArray(UInt8, 16) #

Returns the binary representation of the UUID.


[View source]
def hash(hasher) #
Description copied from struct Struct

See Object#hash(hasher)


def hexstring : String #

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

Convert to String in literal format.


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

Returns UUID as JSON value.

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]
def to_s(io : IO) : Nil #
Description copied from struct Struct

Same as #inspect(io).


[View source]
def to_unsafe #

Returns unsafe pointer to 16-bytes.


[View source]
def urn : String #

[View source]
def v1! #

[View source]
def v2? #

Returns true if UUID is a V2, false otherwise.


[View source]
def v3! #

Returns true if UUID is a V3, raises Error otherwise.


[View source]
def v3? #

Returns true if UUID is a V3, false otherwise.


[View source]
def v4! #

Returns true if UUID is a V4, raises Error otherwise.


[View source]
def v4? #

Returns true if UUID is a V4, false otherwise.


[View source]
def v5! #

Returns true if UUID is a V5, raises Error otherwise.


[View source]
def v5? #

Returns true if UUID is a V5, false otherwise.


[View source]
def variant : UUID::Variant #

Returns UUID variant.


[View source]
def version : UUID::Version #

Returns version based on RFC4122 format. See also #variant.
