nameBasedUuidOf

fun nameBasedUuidOf(namespace: Uuid, name: String, hasher: UuidHasher): Uuid

Constructs a "Name-Based" version 3 or 5 UUID.

Version 3 and 5 UUIDs are created by combining a name and a namespace using a hash function. This library may provide such hash functions in the future, but it adds a significant maintenance burden to support for native, JS, and JVM. Until then:

Provide a MD5 UuidHasher to get a v3 UUID
Provide a SHA-1 UuidHasher to get a v5 UUID

//Unresolved: com.benasher44.uuid.uuid5Of

Parameters

namespace - for the "Name-Based" UUID

name - withing the namespace for the "Name-Based" UUID

hasher - interface that implements a hashing algorithm

Return
New version 3 or 5 UUID.
