ActiveRecord::UUID
Override migration methods to support UUID columns without having to be explicit about it.
What this gem will do for you:
- When creating new tables, will set the
id
column asuuid
. - When creating associations with
t.belongs_to
,t.references
oradd_reference
, will set the column type asuuid
.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ar-uuid'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ar-uuid
Usage
There's no setup. Just adding the gem to your Gemfile is enough. When you create a new table, the id
column will be defined as uuid
. This is also true for references.
create_table :users
add_reference :posts, :users
create_table :posts do |t|
t.belongs_to :user
# or
t.references :user
end
If you need a serial column, AR's PostgreSQL supports the bigserial
column type.
create_table :users do |t|
t.column :position, :bigserial, null: false
end
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
