[lakshmaji]

Uuid is not found error when trying to generate uuid from the controller
Uuid::generate(4);

• Uuid 3.0

Multiple contradications in your issue report:

• Title states Laravel 5.5, description states 5.4
• Title states UUID version 3, example uses UUID version 4

Can you clarify?

Latest version works in both laravel 5.4 and 5.5.

Like @BenExile, can you explain a bit more what you are trying to do?

[lakshmaji]

Yeah that was a typo, Thanks @BenExile and the Laravel version I'm using was 5.5

• Currently I'm using Webpatser\Uuid\ Uuid::generate(4) , No issues with this.
• But why can't I simply use Uuid with help of facades in my controller class, like as illustrated below

Uuid:: generate(4)

[BenExile]

You don't need to use a facade to do this. Just import the Uuid class as you would with any other class:

use Webpatser\Uuid\Uuid;
$uuid = Uuid::generate(4);

[lakshmaji]

@BenExile , Yeah I'm using this, it worked for me, But why can't simply use with facade aliases (that are automatically registered with laravel, ie., auto package discovery), like below

use Uuid;
Uuid::generate(4)

Instead of

use Webpatser\Uuid\Uuid;
$uuid = Uuid::generate(4);

If you really want to use a Facade for blade directives/whatever, you can paste this line in the Facades array at the end of your config/app.php

'Uuid' => Webpatser\Uuid\Uuid::class,

And then you should be able to use it as so

Uuid::generate();

[lakshmaji]

@hightekjonathan , Yeah that's right. but this package has enabled package auto discovery. So it it is not required to register facades manually. Am I missing anything here
