sets_uuid¶ ↑

Allows you to declaratively initialize UUID columns in your ActiveRecords.

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  sets_uuid :before_create, :guid => :compact
end

m = MyModel.create!
m.guid # => "a80cca5469254331a2f7df23da2b837f"

This gem requires the simple_uuid gem. The reason I picked this library instead of the classic uuid gem is because the later does not use a state file, which I find annoying in some situations.

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but

  bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
