Uniquely identified models for Laravel 4
========================================

[](#uniquely-identified-models-for-laravel-4)

*Uniquely* uses UUIDv4 as primary key for [Laravel 4 Eloquent models](http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent). It automatically generates the UUID when your model is saved. *Uniquely* overwrites the `save()` method instead of attaching to Eloquent's `creating` event in order to circumvent some problems in combination with unit testing.

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

[](#installation)

To install *Uniquely* run

```
$ composer require lukaskorl/uniquely

```

You can specify `1.*` to include the most current version including possible future bugfixes.

**Manual installation**

If you choose to install *Uniquely* manually add the following line to your `composer.json`:

```
"require": {
    "lukaskorl/uniquely": "1.*"
}

```

and run

```
$ composer update

```

to install the package.

Usage
