Heads up!
=========

[](#heads-up)

Since Laravel 9.x, UUID support for Eloquent is baked right into Laravel.
See [Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Concerns/HasUuids](https://laravel.com/api/master/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Concerns/HasUuids.html).

This package is now redundant.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via composer using `composer require cloudcake/laravel-uuid`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Primary Key UUID's

[](#primary-key-uuids)

If you want to use UUID's as your model's primary key, this is for you.

- Add the `Uuid\Traits\UuidPrimaryKey` trait to the eloquent model
- Add the primary key column name if you're not using the default of `id` (Optional)

```
use Uuid\Traits\UuidPrimaryKey;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use UuidPrimaryKey;

    protected $primaryKey = 'id';
}
```

Now you'll be able to call `User::find('');`.

### Additional Field UUID's

[](#additional-field-uuids)

In some situations you may want to retain your regular integer based primary key, but add an additional UUID column to your models, for this case, use the `Uuid` trait.

- Add the `Uuid\Traits\Uuid` trait to the eloquent model
- Add the name of the UUID column

```
use Uuid\Traits\Uuid;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Uuid;

    protected static $uuidKeyName = 'uuid';
}
```

And query it as you would any other attribute, `User::where('uuid', '')->first()`.

Additional Options
------------------

[](#additional-options)

Add any/all of the following to your model(s) to fine-tune the package to your needs.

AttributeDescription$uuidKeyThe name of the UUID column in the database. Defaults to `uuid`.$uuidOrderedWhether or not the UUID should use timestamp ordering. Defaults to `true`.Example:

```
use Uuid\Traits\Uuid;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Comment extends Model
{
    use Uuid;

    /**
     * The name of the UUID column in the database.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected static $uuidKey = 'universally_unique_id';

    /**
     * Whether or not the UUID should use timestamp ordering.
     *
     * @var bool
     */
    protected static $uuidOrdered = true;
}
```
