The trait overwrites the static `boot` method and listens to the `creating`event. It generates a UUID (strips the dashes) and stores it in the primary key attribute. Thus, you'll need a `CHAR(32)` primary key for your model (see migrations below).

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require minusmillionaer/eloquent-uuid:dev-master
```

Use
---

[](#use)

In order to make it faster, you have the option to use one of three traits:

- `UuidModelTrait` - the key must be `CHAR(36)` and contains the dashes
- `Uuid32ModelTrait` - the key must be `CHAR(32)`, the dashes are stripped
- `UuidBinaryModelTrait` - the key is `BINARY(16)`.
