Automatically populate a UUID column on Eloquent models when they are created or replicated. Drop the trait onto any model and the rest works without configuration.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require mindtwo/laravel-auto-create-uuid
```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.2+
- Laravel 10, 11, 12, or 13

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Add the trait to a model

[](#add-the-trait-to-a-model)

```
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use mindtwo\LaravelAutoCreateUuid\AutoCreateUuid;

class Example extends Model
{
    use AutoCreateUuid;
}
```

### Add a UUID column to the migration

[](#add-a-uuid-column-to-the-migration)

```
$table->uuid('uuid')->unique();
```

The trait listens to the `creating` and `replicating` model events and fills the configured UUID column with a new UUID v4 whenever the column is empty or holds an invalid UUID.

### Customize the UUID column

[](#customize-the-uuid-column)

The default column name is `uuid`. To use a different column, either define a `$uuid_column` property:

```
class Example extends Model
{
    use AutoCreateUuid;

    protected string $uuid_column = 'identifier';
}
```

or override the `getUuidColumn()` method:

```
class Example extends Model
{
    use AutoCreateUuid;

    public function getUuidColumn(): string
    {
        return 'identifier';
    }
}
```

### Replicating models

[](#replicating-models)

The trait overrides `Model::replicate()` to ensure the UUID column is excluded from the cloned attributes, so the replica receives a fresh UUID via the `replicating` event.

Testing
