This is a custom package designed for Laravel Eloquent. It provides a trait that can be used in model classes that will automatically generate a UUID primary key instead of the default auto-incrementing integer.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

All that is necessary to have this working is to `use` the trait in the model class. An example is shown below.
Don't forget that the migration will need to be changed to create a UUID (or string) column instead of an integer column. You'll also need to explicitly set the column as the primary key.

```
use HealthEngine\LaravelUuid\UuidPrimaryKey;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use UuidPrimaryKey;

    //
}
```

License
