CakePHP UID Plugin
==================

[](#cakephp-uid-plugin)

A CakePHP plugin providing a collection of UID field types for your applications.

You can follow ongoing discussion about native UID support on the official CakePHP issue tracker [here](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/issues/18807). This plugin provides a solution until more convenient support is available in CakePHP core.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **UUIDv4** field type
- **UUIDv6** field type
- **UUIDv7** field type
- **ULID** field type

Easily add modern, sortable unique identifiers to your CakePHP models.

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

[](#installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require josbeir/cakephp-uid
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Before using the UID field types in your schema, you need to map them using `TypeFactory::map` in your application bootstrap or plugin initialization:

If you want to use these types instead of CakePHP's [native ones](https://book.cakephp.org/5/en/orm/database-basics.html#data-types), you need to override the original types as shown below. CakePHP will handle the rest based on your database field settings.

- For UUID: use column type `UUID` (when supported by your db) or `BINARY(16)` or `CHAR(36)`:
- FOR ULID: use column type `BINARY(16)` or `CHAR(26)`:
- Remember that a UUID/BINARY is prefererd for performance reasons.

```
TypeFactory::map('binaryuuid', BinaryUuidV7Type::class); // Uses UUID V7
TypeFactory::map('binaryuuid', BinaryUlidType::class); // Uses ULID
```

Other possibilities:

```
TypeFactory::map('uuidv4', UuidV4Type::class);
TypeFactory::map('uuidv6', UuidV6Type::class);
TypeFactory::map('uuidv7', UuidV7Type::class);
TypeFactory::map('ulid', UlidType::class);
TypeFactory::map('binaryuuidv4', BinaryUuidV4Type::class);
TypeFactory::map('binaryuuidv6', BinaryUuidV6Type::class);
TypeFactory::map('binaryuuidv7', BinaryUuidV7Type::class);
TypeFactory::map('binaryulid', BinaryUlidType::class);
```

Underlying Library
------------------

[](#underlying-library)

This plugin utilizes the [Symfony UID component](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/uid.html) to generate, validate, and convert UIDs. Refer to the Symfony documentation for advanced usage and interoperability details.
