String data, right truncated: 1406 Data too long for column

[RyaiStudio]

I'm having trouble on migration using the following documentation

https://medium.com/@steveazz/setting-up-uuids-in-laravel-5-552412db2088

on migration table

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
     $table->increments('id');
     $table->string('name');
     $table->string('email')->unique();
     $table->string('password');
     $table->uuid('api_token'); ....

Error:

SQLSTATE[22001]: String data, right truncated: 1406 Data too long for column
  'api_token' at row 1 (SQL: insert into `users` (`name`, `email`, `password`,

The uuid field type uses the binary option. You are passing the string representation.

So two options

$table->char('api_token', 36);

or

when inserting the uuid insert the binary variant instead of the string.
