Laravel Eloquent UUID
=====================

[](#laravel-eloquent-uuid)

Allow the usage of UUID in a MySQL setup.

How to install?
---------------

[](#how-to-install)

Install the repository with composer

```
composer require hpolthof/laravel-eloquent-uuid
```

Laravel should auto-discover the required service providers.

How to use?
-----------

[](#how-to-use)

The package requires [dyrynda/laravel-efficient-uuid](https://github.com/michaeldyrynda/laravel-efficient-uuid), this package will override the default behaviour of Laravel so that a `uuid()` migration will not become a `VARCHAR(36)` but a `BINARY(16)` field.

### Trait

[](#trait)

Next up you should use the trait `Hpolthof\Laravel\EloquentUuid\Uuid` in your Eloquent model.

You'll have to add a method `uuidColumns()` to your model. This should return an array with the fields that are UUIDs.

```
protected function uuidColumns(): array
{
    return ['id'];
}
```

### Primary Key

[](#primary-key)

If you've added your primary key as a UUID column, the model will automatically set a new UUID on the creation of the model into the database.
