gbuckingham89/eloquent-uuid v3

A simple package for using UUID's with Laravel's Eloquent models. By including the trait on your models, they will automatically get given a time ordered UUIDv4 for their key (ID) when being persisted to the database., _(*1)

The current version requires Laravel 5.6 (PHP 7.1) or greater. If you're using an older version of Laravel, please see v1 of this package., _(*2)

Installation

composer require gbuckingham89/eloquent-uuid

Use

Make sure your database table(s) are setup to handle UUID's. Laravel has a method called uuid() which you can use in your migrations. You will probably want the field to be unique too., _(*3)

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->uuid('id')->unique();
    // Other fields here...
});

At the top of your model(s) you simply need to include a trait:, _(*4)

<?php

namespace App;
use Gbuckingham89\EloquentUuid\Traits\UuidForKey;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Eloquent
{
    use UuidForKey;
}
