### Generalised UUID generation and parsing interface

Guidance provides a simplified interface for generating and parsing UUIDs of various types. It is designed to be used as a common interface for other libraries that need to work with UUIDs, without having to worry about the specifics of each type and implementation of the generator.

Guidance provides a stripped down front end over the [Ramsey UUID](https://uuid.ramsey.dev) library by default, but can be extended to support other implementations where required.

## Installation

Install via Composer:

```bash

composer require decodelabs/guidance

```

## Usage

```php

use DecodeLabs\Guidance;

use DecodeLabs\Guidance\Format;

// Generate a v4 UUID

$v4 = Guidance::createV4();

$version = $v4->getVersion(); // Version::V4

$string1 = (string)$v4; // Full UUID string

$string2 = $v4->shorten(); // Base 62 (default) encoded UUID

$string3 = $v4->shorten(Format::FlickrBase58); // Base 58 encoded UUID

$new1 = Guidance::from($string1); // Parse full UUID string

$new2 = Guidance::fromShortString($string3, Format::FlickrBase58);

```
