Is there a method to generate a UUID with go language

Question

I have code that looks like this:

u := make([]byte, 16)
_, err := rand.Read(u)
if err != nil {
    return
}

u[8] = (u[8] | 0x80) & 0xBF // what does thi         


        

Answer 1

gofrs/uuid is the replacement for satori/go.uuid, which is the most starred UUID package for Go. It supports UUID versions 1-5 and is RFC 4122 and DCE 1.1 compliant.

import "github.com/gofrs/uuid"

// Create a Version 4 UUID, panicking on error
u := uuid.Must(uuid.NewV4())
