Laravel Eloquent UUID

Generate UUID for a Laravel Eloquent model attribute.

Note This package still works great, however since Laravel 10 this package is no longer needed as Laravel now has a built-in UUID/ULID traits that work much the same as this package. Read more about UUID/ULID in the Laravel documentation.

composer require stayallive/laravel-eloquent-uuid

Adding the UsesUUID trait will ensure that the key attribute will be filled with a UUID.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Stayallive\Laravel\Eloquent\UUID\UsesUUID;

class SomeModel extends Model
{
    use UsesUUID;

    /**
     * This method is not needed but can be used to override which attribute is filled with the UUID.
     */
    public function getUUIDAttributeName(): string
    {
        return $this->getKeyName();
    }
}
