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

To install the package use the command below

composer require jackeratarina/laravel-uuid-database-queue

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('displayName'); // 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

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

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.

jackeratarina\LaravelUuidDatabaseQueue\LaravelUuidDatabaseQueueProvider::class

After this run the migration.

Run Migrations

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

php artisan migrate

Setup Service Provider

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

You are all set...
