gbuckingham89/eloquent-uuid v3
==============================

[](#gbuckingham89eloquent-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.

The current version requires Laravel 5.6 (PHP 7.1) or greater. *If you're using an older version of Laravel, please see [v1](https://github.com/gbuckingham89/eloquent-uuid/tree/1.0.1) of this package.*

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require gbuckingham89/eloquent-uuid

```

```
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:
