A very simple and unopinionated project that will get you up and running with UUID's within your Eloquent models

Simple Eloquent UUID

This project is experimental and should not be used on real-life applications.

This is a very simple project that will get you up and running with UUID's within your eloquent models.

Usage

<?php 
    // Object creation
    $foo = FooModel::create();
    print $foo->uuid; // outputs: feb9035d-e9e2-4913-b6d5-695d0d67f882

    // Object retrieval
    $result = FooModel::find('feb9035d-e9e2-4913-b6d5-695d0d67f882');
    print $foo->uuid; // outputs: feb9035d-e9e2-4913-b6d5-695d0d67f882

Database Setup

In your database migration for your model, you should have the UUID field set up like the following:

<?php
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('foo_table', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->binary('uuid', 16);
            
            // ...
        });
    }
