Constructor Details

#initialize(uuid) ⇒ Uuid

Creates a new UUID either from a string (expected to be on the standard 8-4-4-4-12 form, or just 32 characters without hyphens), or from a 128 bit number.

Parameters:

  • uuid (String) —

    a 32 char uuid

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if the string does not conform to the expected format
