Add UUIDs to existing ActiveRecord models.
To install:
rake uuidify:install:migrations
rake db:migrate
To enable on a specific model:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
uuidify
end
To get/set uuids:
Foo.new.uuid
Foo.new.uuid = UUIDTools::UUID.timestamp_create
Uuidify should hook into ActiveRecord's #destroy and automatically
clean up entries. However, if you bypass #destroy or remove uuidify
from a given model, you might need to run manual garbage collection to
clean up existing stale uuids.
To gc orphan records:
Foo.garbage_collect_uuids # single model
Uuidify.garbage_collect_uuids # everything, even if the model doesn't exist in the source
This gem is signed with rubygems-openpgp. You can verify its integrity by running:
gem install uuidify --verify
