Struct uuid::Builder

pub struct Builder(_);

A builder for creating a UUID.

This type is useful if you need to mutate individual fields of a Uuid while constructing it. Since the Uuid type is Copy, it doesn’t offer any methods to mutate in place. They live on the Builder instead.

The Builder type also always exposes APIs to construct Uuids for any version without needing crate features or additional dependencies. It’s a lower-level API than the methods on Uuid.

Examples

Creating a version 4 UUID from externally generated random bytes:

let random_bytes = rng();

let uuid = Builder::from_random_bytes(random_bytes).into_uuid();

assert_eq!(Some(Version::Random), uuid.get_version());
assert_eq!(Variant::RFC4122, uuid.get_variant());

Implementations

impl Builder

pub const fn from_bytes(b: Bytes) -> Self

Creates a Builder using the supplied bytes.

Examples

Basic usage:

let bytes = [
    0xa1, 0xa2, 0xa3, 0xa4,
    0xb1, 0xb2,
    0xc1, 0xc2,
    0xd1, 0xd2, 0xd3, 0xd4, 0xd5, 0xd6, 0xd7, 0xd8,
];

let uuid = Builder::from_bytes(bytes).into_uuid();

assert_eq!(
    "a1a2a3a4-b1b2-c1c2-d1d2-d3d4d5d6d7d8",
    uuid.hyphenated().to_string(),
);

pub const fn from_bytes_le(b: Bytes) -> Self

Creates a Builder using the supplied bytes in little endian order.

The individual fields encoded in the buffer will be flipped.

Examples

Basic usage:

let bytes = [
    0xa1, 0xa2, 0xa3, 0xa4,
    0xb1, 0xb2,
    0xc1, 0xc2,
    0xd1, 0xd2, 0xd3, 0xd4, 0xd5, 0xd6, 0xd7, 0xd8,
];

let uuid = Builder::from_bytes_le(bytes).into_uuid();

assert_eq!(
    "a4a3a2a1-b2b1-c2c1-d1d2-d3d4d5d6d7d8",
    uuid.hyphenated().to_string(),
);

pub const fn from_rfc4122_timestamp(
    ticks: u64,
    counter: u16,
    node_id: &[u8; 6]
) -> Self

Creates a Builder for a version 1 UUID using the supplied timestamp and node ID.

pub const fn from_md5_bytes(md5_bytes: Bytes) -> Self

Creates a Builder for a version 3 UUID using the supplied MD5 hashed bytes.

pub const fn from_random_bytes(random_bytes: Bytes) -> Self

Creates a Builder for a version 4 UUID using the supplied random bytes.

This method assumes the bytes are already sufficiently random, it will only set the appropriate bits for the UUID version and variant.

Examples

let random_bytes = rng();
let uuid = Builder::from_random_bytes(random_bytes).into_uuid();

assert_eq!(Some(Version::Random), uuid.get_version());
assert_eq!(Variant::RFC4122, uuid.get_variant());

pub const fn from_sha1_bytes(sha1_bytes: Bytes) -> Self

Creates a Builder for a version 5 UUID using the supplied SHA-1 hashed bytes.

This method assumes the bytes are already a SHA-1 hash, it will only set the appropriate bits for the UUID version and variant.

pub fn from_slice(b: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Error>

Creates a Builder using the supplied bytes.

Errors

This function will return an error if b has any length other than 16.

Examples

Basic usage:

let bytes = [
    0xa1, 0xa2, 0xa3, 0xa4,
    0xb1, 0xb2,

    0xd1, 0xd2, 0xd3, 0xd4, 0xd5, 0xd6, 0xd7, 0xd8,
];

let uuid = Builder::from_slice(&bytes)?.into_uuid();

assert_eq!(
    "a1a2a3a4-b1b2-c1c2-d1d2-d3d4d5d6d7d8",
    uuid.hyphenated().to_string(),
);

pub fn from_slice_le(b: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Error>

Creates a Builder using the supplied bytes in little endian order.

The individual fields encoded in the buffer will be flipped.

Errors

This function will return an error if b has any length other than 16.
