uuid

Add some basic uuid funtionality to eloquent models.

Installation

Add this repo to composer.json

"require": {
  "rdelorier/uuid": "dev-master"
},
"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "vcs",
    "url":  "[e-mail]:RDelorier/uuid.git"
  }
]

Then run update to install composer update

Next use the trait on any model you want to have a uuid

<?php

use Codesmith\Eloquent\Uuid\HasUuid;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model
{
    use HasUuid;
}

And of course don't forget to add the field to your table migration

$table->uuid('uuid')->index();

Now you can use the uuid to generate your routes

Route::resource('users', 'UserController');

// generate url using route helper
$url = route('users.show', App\User::first());
// == http://app.dev/users/15734274-7f3b-11e6-aa8b-60f81db6e9e6

I'm sure eventually this will get a real release...
