Laravel Database Queue with UUID as Primary Key
===============================================

[](#laravel-database-queue-with-uuid-as-primary-key)

> **Problem**: With MySQL the adding a Job throws error if the datatype of `id` is `CHAR(36)` and no value is set when inserting a record.

This package provides service provider and necessary classes to allow you to insert records with `UUID` as primary key. The `UUID` is ordered and uses Laravel's `Str::orderedUuid()`.

Install the package
-------------------

[](#install-the-package)

To install the package use the command below

```
composer require stescacom/laravel-uuid-database-queue

```

Fresh Install of Laravel
------------------------

[](#fresh-install-of-laravel)

If you have a fresh Laravel project you'll need to to create migration for `jobs` table with the following Laravel command.

```
php artisan queue:table

```

Next open the created file with the name `create_jobs_table` in it, and make the following change

```
Schema::create('jobs', function (Blueprint  $table) {
	// $table->bigIncrements('id'); // remove this line
	$table->uuid('id')->primary(); // add this line
	$table->string('queue')->index();
	$table->longText('payload');
	$table->unsignedTinyInteger('attempts');
	$table->unsignedInteger('reserved_at')->nullable();
	$table->unsignedInteger('available_at');
	$table->unsignedInteger('created_at');
});

```

Continue from section [`Run Migrations`](#run-migrations)

Existing Project With Migrated Jobs Table
-----------------------------------------

[](#existing-project-with-migrated-jobs-table)

> Before you add the service provider check if can see the migration `2021_10_24_161222_change_id_column_in_jobs_table` with `php artisan migrate:status`If you do see it then skip to [`Run Migrations`](#run-migrations)

In case you've already run the migration and the table exists in your database, you need to register the package service provider first. Open your project's `config/app.php` and add the following line to `providers` array.

```
Stescacom\LaravelUuidDatabaseQueue\LaravelUuidDatabaseQueueProvider::class

```

After this run the migration.

Run Migrations
--------------

[](#run-migrations)

Now the migrations are all set to run. use the following command

```
php artisan migrate

```

Setup Service Provider
----------------------

[](#setup-service-provider)

The final step is to replace `Illuminate\Queue\QueueServiceProvider::class` with `Stescacom\LaravelUuidDatabaseQueue\QueueServiceProvider::class`, open `config/app.php`. Remove or comment the line `Illuminate\Queue\QueueServiceProvider::class` inside the `providers` array and add `Stescacom\LaravelUuidDatabaseQueue\QueueServiceProvider::class`

You are all set...
