DiegoLabs UUID Package
======================

[](#diegolabs-uuid-package)

Simple package to allow you to add UUID to Laravel Models via a trait.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
 composer require ddlabs/uuid-package

```

Traits
------

[](#traits)

- **SetsUuidWhenCreating** - This sets the primary key of the model to a UUID. It allows you to pass a UUID if you have a workflow that creates a UUID by default. If the UUID is version 4 compliant, then the trait will just us the UUID passed to it. We use this from time to time when records are created on a mobile device then passed to a backend via an API. They may already have a UUID associated with it.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

ID must be configured in the database to accept a UUID.

For Migrations:

```
public function up()
{
    Schema::create('your_models', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->uuid('id'); // Set to uuid
        $table->string('name');
        $table->timestamps();
        $table->primary('id'); // Add primary key
    });
}

```

For Models:

```
use Ddlabs\Uuid\Traits\SetsUuidWhenCreating;

class YourModel extends Model
{
    use SetsUuidWhenCreating;

    public $incrementing = false;

    protected $keyType = 'string';
   ...
}

```
