README

This Trait is one of the very basic parts of the NEON. It turns Laravel Eloquent Model to use UUID as primary key.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require neon/model-uuid

This will install the Trait itself.

Usage

To use it on a Model, you have to make the migration ready to use string key isntead of incrementing integer:

  /** Create `awesome_uuids` table.
   * 
   * @return void
   */
  public function up()
  {
    Schema::create('awesome_uuids', function (Blueprint $table) {
      $table->uuid('id')
        ->primary();
    });
  }

You just should use the Trait on the Model.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Neon\Models\Traits\Uuid;

class AwesomeUuid extends Model
{
    use Uuid;
}

How It Works?

The trait initializes itself to change to related attribute of a model:

• incrementing is set to false.
• keyType is set to "string".

The model's booting is also changed: After the model is booted, a UUID being set as primary key value. This is like auto incrementing a number, but set it on PHP side not on database side.
