scala-uuid

An optimized Scala wrapper for java.util.UUID - inspired by scala-time.

Cross-building is caring - latest version (0.3.1) has been published against all versions of Scala:
2.8.x: 2.8.1, 2.8.2
2.9.x: 2.9.0, 2.9.0-1, 2.9.1, 2.9.1-1, 2.9.2, 2.9.3
2.10.x: 2.10.7
2.11.x: 2.11.12
2.12.x: 2.12.9
2.13.x: 2.13.0

Installation:

scala-uuid is being published to OSSRH / Maven Central and should be available without adding additional repositories.
To add the library dependency to your project, simply add:

libraryDependencies += "io.jvm.uuid" %% "scala-uuid" % "0.3.1"

In order to use:

scala> import io.jvm.uuid._
import io.jvm.uuid._

You will now have the UUID type and object available:

scala> classOf[UUID]
res0: Class[io.jvm.uuid.UUID] = class java.util.UUID

Alternatively, you can extend io.jvm.uuid.Imports and bring the implicits into scope that way.
This is fairly useful for importing via (package) objects:

scala> object MyClass extends io.jvm.uuid.Imports
defined object MyClass

scala> import MyClass._
import MyClass._

scala> classOf[UUID]
res0: Class[MyClass.UUID] = class java.util.UUID

Constructors:

scala> UUID.random
res1: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 5f4bdbef-0417-47a6-ac9e-ffc5a4905f7f

scala> UUID(1, 2)
res2: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 00000000-0000-0001-0000-000000000002

scala> UUID("00112233-4455-6677-8899-aAbBcCdDeEfF")
res3: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 00112233-4455-6677-8899-aabbccddeeff

Array factory methods:

scala>  UUID(Array[Long](1L, 2L))
res4: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 00000000-0000-0001-0000-000000000002

scala>  UUID(Array[Int](1, 2, 3, 4))
res5: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 00000001-0000-0002-0000-000300000004

scala> UUID(Array[Short](1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8))
res6: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 00010002-0003-0004-0005-000600070008

scala>  UUID(Array[Byte](1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16))
res7: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 01020304-0506-0708-090a-0b0c0d0e0f10

scala> UUID("5ca1ab1e-Feed-Dead-Beef-CafeBabeC0de".toCharArray)
res8: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 5ca1ab1e-feed-dead-beef-cafebabec0de

Bear in mind that the String constructor requires an exact, 36 character String representation:

scala> UUID("01020304-0506-0708-090a-0b0c0d0e0f10")
res9: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 01020304-0506-0708-090a-0b0c0d0e0f10

scala> UUID("01020304-0506-0708-090a-0b0c0d0e0f1") // missing hexadecimal digit
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: UUID must be in format xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx,
    where x is a hexadecimal digit (got: 01020304-0506-0708-090a-0b0c0d0e0f1)
  at io.jvm.uuid.StaticUUID.apply(StaticUUID.scala:218)
  ... 43 elided

There is a legacy factory method available through providing false as the second argument, but it has a lot of interesting features:

scala> UUID("1-2-3-4-00000000000000004000000000000005", false)
res10: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 00000001-0002-0003-4004-000000000005

Accessors:

scala> val foo = UUID.random
foo: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = 17fa3a17-a302-4fd7-81f8-54882cdd7d78

scala> foo.string
res11: String = 17fa3a17-a302-4fd7-81f8-54882cdd7d78

scala> foo.mostSigBits
res12: Long = 1727757280243503063

scala> foo.leastSigBits formatted "%016x"
res13: String = 81f854882cdd7d78

scala> foo.longArray
res14: Array[Long] = Array(1727757280243503063, -9081415704747606664)

scala> foo.intArray
res15: Array[Int] = Array(402274839, -1560129577, -2114431864, 752713080)

scala> foo.shortArray
res16: Array[Short] = Array(6138, 14871, -23806, 20439, -32264, 21640, 11485, 32120)

scala> foo.byteArray
res17: Array[Byte] = Array(23, -6, 58, 23, -93, 2, 79, -41, -127, -8, 84, -120, 44, -35, 125, 120)

scala> foo.charArray
res18: Array[Char] = Array(1, 7, f, a, 3, a, 1, 7, -, ..., -, 5, 4, 8, 8, 2, c, d, d, 7, d, 7, 8)

String accessors are much more optimized than vanilla toString (7x speedup), and come in two flavors:

scala> foo.string // lower-case by default
res19: String = 17fa3a17-a302-4fd7-81f8-54882cdd7d78

scala> foo.toLowerCase // explicitly lower-case
res20: String = 17fa3a17-a302-4fd7-81f8-54882cdd7d78

scala> foo.toUpperCase // explicitly upper case
res21: String = 17FA3A17-A302-4FD7-81F8-54882CDD7D78

Extractors:

An optimized String extractor is also available for your needs (e.g. when extracting URL parameters):

scala> val SubmitEventRoute = "/event/([^/]+)/submit".r
SubmitEventRoute: scala.util.matching.Regex = /event/([^/]+)/submit

scala> val SubmitEventRoute(UUID(eventId)) = "/event/EF72505A-A9A6-4CD7-A14C-8F27C96FD727/submit"
eventId: io.jvm.uuid.UUID = ef72505a-a9a6-4cd7-a14c-8f27c96fd727

Unsigned comparison by default:

WARNING: JVM sorts UUIDs differently to the rest of the world (languages and databases).
This is due to default signed Long ordering and has been marked as a Will Not Fix due to legacy code:
https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7025832

scala-uuid provides sanity compatible unsigned ordering by default, compare and contrast:

scala> new java.util.UUID(0xffffffffffffffffL, 0) compareTo new java.util.UUID(1, 0)
res22: Int = -1

scala> UUID(0xffffffffffffffffL, 0) compare UUID(1, 0)
res23: Int = 1
