Eloquent Uuid
=============

[](#eloquent-uuid)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/55378406a6e9eaf2e7a34c50ab53826d60dc62d6996eef20022f72325cef24ed/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f736c65696d616e78322f656c6f7175656e742d757569642e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/sleimanx2/eloquent-uuid)

Simple laravel / eloquent behavior to use uuid as a primary key or as a separate field by listening to Eloquent's creating event.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use EloquentUuid\Uuid;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Category extends Model
{
    use Uuid;
}

```

**You can define the field to store the uuid in as follows (default: primary key)**

```
protected $uuidField = 'uuid';
```

**You can define the uuid version as follows (default: version 1)**

```
protected $uuidVersion = 4;
```

currently this package only supports version 1 and 4

Querying by Uuid

```
Category::Uuid('a-uu-id');
```

currently this package only supports version 1 and 4

Chosing Uuid version.
=====================

[](#chosing-uuid-version)

**1- uuid1() generates a UUID based on the current time and the MAC address of the machine.**

Pros: Useful if you want to be able to sort your UUIDs by creation time. Cons: Potential privacy leakage since it reveals which computer it was generated on and at what time. Collisions possible: If two UUIDs are generated at the exact same time (within 100 ns) on the same machine. (Or a few other unlikely marginal cases.)

**2- uuid2() doesn't seem to be used anymore.**

**3- uuid3() generates a UUID by taking an MD5 hash of an arbitrary name that you choose within some namespace (e.g. URL, domain name, etc).**

Pros: Provides a nice way of assigning blocks of UUIDs to different namespaces. Easy to reproduce the UUID from the name. Cons: If you have a unique name already, why do you need a UUID? Collisions possible: If you reuse a name within a namespace, or if there is a hash collision.

**4- uuid4() generates a completely random UUID.**

Pros: No privacy concerns. Don't have to generate unique names. Cons: No structure to UUIDs. Collisions possible: If you use a bad random number generator, reuse a random seed, or are very, very unlucky.

**5- uuid5() is the same as uuid3(), except using a SHA-1 hash instead of MD5. Officially preferred over uuid3().**
