Usage
To generate UUID
$uuid = (string) Uuid::generate()
OR
$uuid = Uuid::generate()->string
To generate specific version of UUID
//generate UUIDv4 $uuid = (string) Uuid::generate(4)
OR
//generate UUIDv4 $uuid = Uuid::uuid4(4)
Eloquent model UUID
The built in Trait "HasUuidPrimaryKey", will automatically generate a UUIDv4 and set it on the model's primary key field when creating model.
This will not affect model events since the Trait makes uses Laravel Model's bootTraits() function.
Validation
Using the Laravel validator, you can now pass the rule name "uuid" to validate UUIDs.
Laravel validator rule example
'YOUR-UUID-FIELD' => 'uuid'
Running tests
