Caution

This package is a fork of [saade/laravel-uuid](https://packagist.org/packages/saade/laravel-uuid) (which is no longer maintained) to keep old projects still alive.

Laravel now has [first-party support for generating UUIDs and ULIDs](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#uuid-and-ulid-keys) on Eloquent models, you should use that instead.

This package will not receive any new features or updates, only compatibility fixes.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require saade/laravel-uuid
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

There are 2 methods for applying automatic UUID generation to your models:

### 1. Applying a trait

[](#1-applying-a-trait)

Add the `Saade\Uuid\Concerns\HasUuid` trait to your model:

```
class Post extends Model
{
    use \Saade\Uuid\Concerns\HasUuid;
}
```

This will automatically assign a time-ordered UUID to the `uuid` column on your model. UUIDs are generated using the `Str::orderedUuid()` method provided by Laravel.

If you wish to change the column that is used, you can define a `uuidColumn` method on your model:

```
class Post extends Model
{
    use \Saade\Uuid\Concerns\HasUuid;

    public function uuidColumn(): string
    {
        return 'guid';
    }
}
```

#### `findByUuid` & `findByUuidOrFail`

[](#findbyuuid--findbyuuidorfail)

You can use the `Model::findByUuid` and `Model::findByUuidOrFail` methods to quickly retrieve a model from it's UUID. These behave the same way as `Model::find` and `Model::findOrFail`.

### 2. Mass-registration in `ServiceProvider`

[](#2-mass-registration-in-serviceprovider)

If you want to use the defaults and would like to avoid adding more traits to your model, you can mass-register your models in the `boot` method of a `ServiceProvider`.

```
use Saade\Uuid\Uuid;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        Uuid::generateFor([
            \App\Models\Post::class,
        ]);
    }
}
```

### Using the UUID in route definitions

[](#using-the-uuid-in-route-definitions)

If you want to use your `uuid` column as the default route-model binding column, you can implement the `Saade\Uuid\Contracts\WithUuidRouteKey` contract on your model.

This will force the `HasUuid` trait to use the `uuid` column as the return value of `getRouteKeyName` which Laravel uses to determine how to receive a model for implicit route-model binding.
