History
This repository based on from github.com/satori/go.uuid after it seems to be no longer maintained. Then I decided to make a little modification and maintenance because there were many issues that hadn't been completed in more than a year. And I get a few issues while working on a product.
Hopefully this repository can help other people who want to use uuid on Go.
Installation
Use the go
command:
$ go get github.com/budhip/go-uuid
