Module: Sequel::Plugins::Uuid

Defined in:
lib/sequel/plugins/uuid.rb

Overview

The uuid plugin creates hooks that automatically create a uuid for every instance. Note that this uses SecureRandom.uuid to create UUIDs, and that method is not defined on ruby 1.8.7. If you would like to use this on ruby 1.8.7, you need to override the Model#create_uuid private method to return a valid uuid.

Usage:

# Uuid all model instances using +uuid+
# (called before loading subclasses)
Sequel::Model.plugin :uuid

# Uuid Album instances, with custom column name
Album.plugin :uuid, :field=>my_uuid

:field

The field to hold the uuid (default: :uuid)

:force

Whether to overwrite an existing uuid (default: false)
