class method `self.uuid_from_hash`

Ruby on Rails 4.2.9

Since v4.2.9

Available in: v4.2.9 v5.2.8.1 v6.0.6 v6.1.7.10 v7.0.10 v7.1.6 v7.2.3 v8.0.4 v8.1.2

Compare with:

self.uuid_from_hash(hash_class, uuid_namespace, name)

Generates a v5 non-random UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier).

Using Digest::MD5 generates version 3 UUIDs; Digest::SHA1 generates version 5 UUIDs. uuid_from_hash always generates the same UUID for a given name and namespace combination.

See RFC 4122 for details of UUID at: www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt

Parameters

hash_class req
uuid_namespace req
name req
