uuid VS go.uuid

I use Google's UUID package a lot. But every time I refer to it in a new package, the language server picks up https://github.com/gofrs/uuid instead of https://github.com/google/uuid and then complains that the gofrs package isn't in go.mod. I assume because it's the first alphabetically (though this seems like a huge supply chain security loophole).

Just store one single UUID as a token in a client's cookie (use https://github.com/google/uuid for ex), and associate that to a user ID (or anything else relevant in your case), and an expiry date for example

Depends on your needs I think, I generally just use github.com/google/uuid like /u/wowsux mentioned it supports v1 through v5 of the UUID spec.

And we are also going to use google/uuid to generate random uuids.

If you are using "github.com/google/uuid", try the following codes

You can see the same naming dilemma in many Go library implementations, i.e., where a package is used to organize functions related to a single a type (https://github.com/google/uuid) vs organizing code of related functionality (https://github.com/golang/go/tree/master/src/math).

Type inference is not perfect yet (especially for functional options). Also not being able to add type parameters to methods is a bit annoying (can be worked around using package-level functions) but besides that generics fit quite nicely into the library. If type inference gets better then I think I can even remove the hard dependency on github.com/google/uuid and let users use custom types for ids.

Something to note is that all of this is still open source. Theoretically, someone can decide to fork SQLBoiler and add all the missing things, or send in a PR. A good example is that the current most popular uuid package. gofrs/uuid was forked from an unmaintained previously popular package.
