Eloquent UUID

Simple and flexible Laravel package that adds support for UUID generation automatically for any Eloquent model.

• Generate uuid automatically.
• Choose a custom name for the uuid column in your table. (default 'uuid')
• Choose the version of the generated uuid. (default '4')
• Checks for uuid version and column name. (throws the InvalidUuidVersionException and MissingUuidColumnException exceptions)
• Prevents update on uuid value.

What is a UUID?

A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems. is a 36 character long identifier made up of 32 alphanumeric characters with four hyphens in amongst it. For example:123E4567-E89b-12D3-A456-426655440000 containing letters and numbers. that will uniquely identify something. you can read more here.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require your-app-rocks/eloquent-uuid

or via composer.json file

{
    "require": {
        "your-app-rocks/eloquent-uuid": "~2"
    }
}

Usage

Create table

Create your table with a uuid column. For example:

<?php

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->uuid('uuid');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->timestamps();
});

Create model

In your eloquent model, add trait HasUuid:

<?php

namespace App\YourNameSpace;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use YourAppRocks\EloquentUuid\Traits\HasUuid;

class User extends Model
{
    use HasUuid;
}

Create Controller

<?php

namespace App\YourNameSpace;

use App\YourNameSpace\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class UserController extends Controller
{

    /**
     * When a new record is inserted into the table `(with the create() or save() methods)`,
     * Trait "HasUuid" will automatically generate a uuid version 4* for the 'uuid' column of your schema.
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $user = User::create($request->all()); // Automatically generate a uuid

        return $user->getUuid() // Return UUID value.
    }

    /**
     * Get User by custom 'UUID' key name - Implicit Binding.
     * See https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/routing#route-model-binding
     *
     * @param User $user
     * @return void
     */
    public function show(User $user)
    {
        return $user;
    }

    //OR

    /**
     * Get User by scope query.
     */
    public function show($uuid)
    {
        $user = User::findByUuid($uuid);

        return $user;
    }
}

Customization

You can easily config the package for your needs by changing the column name and uuid version. For example:

<?php

//Create table
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->uuid('universally_unique_id');
    $table->string('title');
    $table->timestamps();
});

//Eloquent Model
class Post extends Model
{
    use HasUuid;

    protected $uuidColumnName = 'universally_unique_id';
    protected $uuidVersion = 1;    // Available 1,3,4 or 5
    protected $uuidString  = '';   // Needed when $uuidVersion is "3 or 5"
}

Advance Customization

This package was built to be flexible and easy to customize!

You can use trait Uuidable to create your own trait with your custom code.

Methods

YourAppRocks\EloquentUuid\Traits\Uuidable;

• getUuidColumnName() // Get the column name. ( default 'uuid' )
• getUuid() // Get the uuid value.
• setUuid($value) // Set the uuid value.
• generateUuid() // Generate the UUID value. ( Using Ramsey\Uuid )
• getUuidVersion() // Get uuid version or default to 4.
• getUuidString() // Get string to generate uuid version 3 and 5.
• validateUuidVersion() // Validate uuid version.

Example custom code

Replacing trait HasUuid for MyUuidTrait:

<?php

//Create table
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->uuid('uuid');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->timestamps();
});

//Create MyUuidTrait with custom code
use YourAppRocks\EloquentUuid\Traits\Uuidable;

trait MyUuidTrait
{
    use Uuidable;

    /**
     * Boot trait on the model.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public static function bootMyUuidTrait()
    {
        static::creating(function ($model) {
            // My custom code here.
        });

        static::saving(function ($model) {
            // My custom code here.
        });
    }

    // My custom code here.
}

//Create Model
use MyUuidTrait;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model
{
    use MyUuidTrait;
}
