Using UUID as primary key
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Could help others if readme had some pointers on how to use this gem with UUID's as primary key for associations?
Assumptions, User model has UUID as primary key and using enable_extension 'pgcrypto'
.
Then alter the following migration files:
..._create_friendships.rb > NOTE t.references :friendable, polymorphic: true, type: :uuid
and t.uuid :friend_id
def self.up
create_table :friendships do |t|
t.references :friendable, polymorphic: true, type: :uuid
t.uuid :friend_id
t.string :status
t.timestamps
end
end
..._add_blocker_id_to_friendships.rb > NOTE change from :string
to :uuid
def self.up
add_column :friendships, :blocker_id, :uuid, default: nil
end
@pcasa uuid is not a solution that will work for everyone since there are some considerations one must make before using uuid as a pk.
If it is something you require, you can easily do that migration yourself without the help of this gem.
If we can generate some new releases, I'm hoping to make this a configurable option, but for now it is outside the scope of this gem.
