Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require mindtwo/laravel-auto-create-uuid

How to use?

Prepare eloquent model

Simply use the AutoCreateUuid trait in your eloquent model.

namespace example;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use mindtwo\LaravelAutoCreateUuid\AutoCreateUuid;

class Example extends Model
{
    use AutoCreateUuid;
}

Add UUID column to migration

Make sure to add the column in your migration file.

$table->string('uuid', 36)->unique();

Customize UUID attribute

The default attribute name for the auto generated UUID is 'uuid'. However you can customize it, if you need. There are two possibilities to do so.

Either you set up a property named 'uuid_column':

namespace example;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use mindtwo\LaravelAutoCreateUuid\AutoCreateUuid;

class Example extends Model
{
    use AutoCreateUuid;
    
    protected $uuid_column = 'id'
}

or you overload the getUuidColumn() method:

namespace example;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use mindtwo\LaravelAutoCreateUuid\AutoCreateUuid;

class Example extends Model
{
    use AutoCreateUuid;
    
    /**
     * Get the column name for uuid attribute.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getUuidColumn(): string
    {
        return 'id';
    }
}

In both cases the attribute name for the UUID is now 'id' instead of 'uuid'.
