1. Add to your migration `$table->uuid()->unique();`
2. Add to your model:

```
namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Vcoder7\Ltools\Http\Traits\CreateUuidTrait;

class MyModel extends Model
{
    use HasFactory, CreateUuidTrait;
}

```

### [Str `initials` helper (macro)](#str_class_macros)
