PkUuids package use ramsey/uuid[https://github.com/ramsey/uuid] (official installed on 5.3+) to generate a UUID_v4(random) as primary key for Eloquent Model.
inspired by http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31817067/laravel-5-using-a-uuid-as-primary-key
- Use composer to add the package into your project
using
composer require racklin/pkuuids:dev-master
Use a UUID as primary key, we need to change $table->increments('id'); to $table->uuid('id')->primary();
Add $incrementing = false; to your Models.
Add use PkUuuids; to your Models.
Example:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Racklin\PkUuids\PkUuids;
class User extends Model
{
use PkUuids;
$incrementing = false;
}
Current package version works for Laravel 5.3+.
