# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 half2me but only sometimes stamped
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 jeremyharris ooooh
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 half2me its just an identifier stamped on an entity
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 half2me none
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 jeremyharris is this for a FK or a PK?
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 half2me Seems to me like it shouldn't by default
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 half2me would the default behavior stamp anyway?
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:25 half2me if its allowed to be null though
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:25 half2me but still no stamping :)
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:25 half2me @jeremyharris I changed my migration, and its generating a CHAR(36) nicely
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:19 jeremyharris and bake your fixture, if your fixture doesn’t show up as a type=uuid something was wrong
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:18 half2me just as a normal one
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:18 half2me I don't want it as the primary index
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:18 jeremyharris yeah that would be best :slightly_smiling_face:
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:18 jeremyharris also, set it as the primary index
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:18 half2me maybe I'll just use the uuid type in the migration :)
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:18 half2me ah okay :)
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:18 jeremyharris you want char(36)
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:18 half2me but when I create a new entity and save, it stays null
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:17 half2me its a varchar(36)
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:17 half2me my uuid field is just null
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:17 jeremyharris you shouldn’t need to do anything in initializeSchema
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:17 half2me but it doesn't seem to be generating one automatically
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:16 half2me @jeremyharris I even tried setting the column type to uuid manually in the initializeSchema
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:13 half2me alright, I'll try that, thanks @jeremyharris
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:12 jeremyharris and if you want to validate your keys, using `uuid` in validation will do the trick
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:11 half2me haha yes, a bit minimal
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:11 jeremyharris yeah that’ll be good
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:11 jeremyharris I just realized that section doesn’t say much hah
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:11 half2me I think I have my migration as 'string' with char(36)
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:11 half2me sweet
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:11 jeremyharris if you generate a migration with bake using the “uuid” abstract type, it will do the work for you. If not and using mysql, char(36) will make cake recognize it as a uuid
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:10 jeremyharris yep! see: https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/intro/conventions.html#database-conventions
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:09 half2me validation etc.
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:09 half2me Things I would need are automatic generation of uuid on saving an entity
# Mar 12th 2019, 14:09 half2me Hi all, is there any documentation on how to use the uuid type? https://api.cakephp.org/3.7/class-Cake.Database.Type.UuidType.html
# Mar 12th 2019, 13:58 ricksaccous you'd have to post your validation for me to be able to help
# Mar 12th 2019, 13:58 ricksaccous that's completely different
# Mar 12th 2019, 13:58 om.axisweb i get error Warning (2): mb_strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given [CORE\src\Validation\Validation.php, line 867]
# Mar 12th 2019, 13:53 ricksaccous woohooo
# Mar 12th 2019, 13:53 ricksaccous i got addNested to work btw
