# sebastian/uuid

This package provides a single function: `uuid()`. This function uses PHP's `random_bytes()` function to generate a string that contains a 16-byte number written in hexadecimal and divided into five groups of characters (8-4-4-4-12).

Strings generated using the `uuid()` function can be used as Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) in certain contexts.  

## Installation

You can add this library as a local, per-project dependency to your project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```

composer require sebastian/uuid

```

If you only need this library during development, for instance to run your project's test suite, then you should add it as a development-time dependency:

```

composer require --dev sebastian/uuid

```

## Usage

```php
