How do you do UUID in Golangs Gorm?

Question

I have the following model...

type User struct {
    ID        string  `sql:\"type:uuid;primary_key;default:uuid_generate_v4()\"`
    FirstName string `form:\"f         


        

Answer 1

Turns out I was trying to store the UUID as the wrong type, I was doing...

func (user *User) BeforeCreate(scope *gorm.Scope) error {
    scope.SetColumn("ID", uuid.NewV4())
    return nil
}

When it needed to be...

func (user *User) BeforeCreate(scope *gorm.Scope) error {
    scope.SetColumn("ID", uuid.NewV4().String())
    return nil
}
