[](#laravel-schema-ext)

There package is intend to supplement specific aspects of Laravel's migration (schema). All methods added by this package have underscore suffix, or a few characters following the underscore.

Methods
-------

[](#methods)

Currently there are only 3 methods in this package.

### `binary_($column, $length = null)`

[](#binary_column-length--null)

This method adds a `binary` column to the table. Besides the capability of setting the column length, other differences with Laravel's `binary` method are:

[](#binary_vcolumn-length--null)

This method adds a `varbinary` column to the table. Besides the capability of setting the column length, other differences with Laravel's `binary` method are:

DatabaseextLaravelMySQLvarbinary($length)blobPostgreSQLbytea($length)byteaSQLiteblob($length)blobSQL Servervarbinary($length)varbinary### `uuid_($column)`

[](#uuid_column)

This is a shorthand of `binary_($column, 16)`.

### `foreignUuid_($column)`

[](#foreignuuid_column)

Creates a UUID column and its corresponding foreign key.

### `foreignIdFor_($model, $column = null)`

[](#foreignidfor_model-column--null)

Adds UUID support to eloquent's `foreignIdFor()` method.

`eidng8\Laravel\Schema\Eloquent\UuidModel`
------------------------------------------

[](#eidng8laravelschemaeloquentuuidmodel)

This model handles common processes of UUID, such as generating UUID automatically.

Models inheriting this should *not* use the primary key columns directly. Use `getKey()` and `setKey()` instead.

### `getKey(bool $autoGen = false): ?string`

[](#getkeybool-autogen--false-string)

Returns a human friendly string of the UUID. If `$autoGen` is `true`, automatically generation a UUID if the instance doesn't have one.

### `setKey($uuid = null): void`

[](#setkeyuuid--null-void)

Sets the primary key column's value to the given UUID. Makes sure the stored value is in binary form. The `$uuid` can be a UUID instance, human friendly representation of UUID, binary UUID string, or `null`. A version 1 UUID will be generated if `null`.
