uuid.FromString("6ba7b8109dad11d180b400c04fd430c8") does not work, and really should. about go.uuid HOT 6 CLOSED

Closed by merging #54

from go.uuid.

why not write a wrapper around uuid.FromString?

func uuidFromString(s string) (uuid.UUID, error) {
	if len(s) == len(uuid.Nil.String()) {
		return uuid.FromString(s)
	}
	b, err := hex.DecodeString(s)
	if err != nil {
		return uuid.Nil, err
	}
	return uuid.FromBytes(b)
}

I thank you for your response, but wouldn't that wrapper be much slower than a more native implementation?

To my knowledge the dashes are in the standard so not having them is non-standard and you should handle those cases on your own.

@duaneking Look at issue #54. I proposed there more efficient implementation than @jlburkhead suggested. Moreover if you do not want apply my patch by yourself you could use fork of @edadeal. We maintain and develop this project since @satori stop maintaince and even do not reply any comments.
