uuidv5-action

GitHub Action that uses UUID v5 to create UUIDs for namespaces and values provided to it.

Parameters

• namespace: A string or valid UUID that will be used to namespace the generated UUID value
• value: The value to turn into a UUID v5 value

Outputs

• uuid: The generated UUID v5 value for the provided namespace and value
• uuid_short: The generated UUID v5 value stripped of any -'s so as to be only 32 characters long (useful with cloud resources that impose 32 character limits on strings)
• namespace_uuid: The namespace value as a UUID that was used in the generation. If the namespace value was a UUID to begin with then this will contain that value, otherewise it is the result of the namespace being converted into a valid UUID v5 before being used to encode the value

Examples

Create a UUID v5 value for a string namespace and value:

- name: Convert to UUID
  id: uuid_v5_values
  uses: octodemo-resources/uuidv5-action@v1
  with:
    namespace: bookstore-demo
    value: qa-peter-murray-patch-1

will create the following outputs:

Output Name	Value
uuid	257feaea-bbc8-5c80-bde1-2ae86bceff13
uuid_short	257feaeabbc85c80bde12ae86bceff13
namespace_uuid	3ee83601-31ad-563a-9a57-887cf25ff9af
