A simple drop-in solution for providing UUID support for the IDs of your Eloquent models.
Both v1
and v4
IDs are supported out of the box, however should you need
v3
or v5
support, you can easily add this in.
Reference the table below for the correct version to use in conjunction with the version of Laravel you have installed:
Laravel | This package |
---|---|
v5.8.* |
v1.* |
v6.0.* |
v6.0.* |
You can install the package via composer:
composer require goldspecdigital/laravel-eloquent-uuid:~v6.0
When creating a Eloquent model, instead of extending the standard Laravel model class, extend from the model class provided by this package:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use GoldSpecDigital\LaravelEloquentUUID\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class BlogPost extends Model
{
//
}
The User model that comes with a standard Laravel install has some extra configuration which is implemented in its parent class. This configuration only consists of implementing several interfaces and using several traits.
A drop-in replacement has been provided which you can use just as above, by extending the User class provided by this package:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use GoldSpecDigital\LaravelEloquentUUID\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
//
}
If you don't specify the value for the primary key of your model, a UUID will be automatically generated. However, if you do specify your own UUID then it will not generate one, but instead use the one you have explicitly provided. This can be useful when needing the know the ID of the model before you have created it:
// No UUID provided (automatically generated).
$model = Model::create();
echo $model->id; // abb034ae-fcdc-4200-8094-582b60a4281f
// UUID explicity provided.
$model = Model::create(['id' => '04d7f995-ef33-4870-a214-4e21c51ff76e']);
echo $model->id; // 04d7f995-ef33-4870-a214-4e21c51ff76e
By default, v4
UUIDs will be used for your models. However, you can also
specify v1
UUIDs to be used by setting the following property on your model:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use GoldSpecDigital\LaravelEloquentUUID\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class BlogPost extends Model
{
/**
* The UUID version to use.
*
* @var int
*/
protected $uuidVersion = 1;
}
Should you need support for v3
or v5
UUIDs, you can simply override the
method which is responsible for generating the UUIDs:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use GoldSpecDigital\LaravelEloquentUUID\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid;
class BlogPost extends Model
{
/**
* @throws \Exception
* @return string
*/
protected function generateUuid(): string
{
// UUIDv3 has been used here, but you can also use UUIDv5.
return Uuid::uuid3(Uuid::NAMESPACE_DNS, 'example.com')->toString();
}
}
To run the test suite you can use the following commands:
# To run both style and unit tests.
composer test
# To run only style tests.
composer test:style
# To run only unit tests.
composer test:unit
If you receive any errors from the style tests, you can automatically fix most, if not all of the issues with the following command:
composer fix:style
