Use UUID instead of auto-increment

You don't want to use auto incrementing ID in your model? Since Laravel 9, it's very easy to implement UUIDs.

Migration:

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    // $table->increments('id');
    $table->uuid('id')->unique();
});

Model:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Concerns\HasUuids;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
 
class Article extends Model
{
    use HasUuids;
 
    // ...
}

Controller:

$article = Article::create(['title' => 'Traveling to Europe']);
 
$article->id; // "8f8e8478-9035-4d23-b9a7-62f4d2612ce5"
