Using a UUID as primary key with Laravel 5

Question

I\'m trying to create tables that will have a primary key which is a UUID defined as binary(16) instead of the default auto-incrementing id field.<

Answer 1

This is a quick solution without using events.

UUidModel.php

getKeyName();
            $id = $attributes[$keyName] = $this->generateNewId();
            $query->insert($attributes);
            $this->setAttribute($keyName, $id);
        }

    /**
    * Get a new version 4 (random) UUID.
    */
        public function generateNewId()
        {
            return 'uuid!!' ;// just for test
        }
    }
?>
