# Mar 12th 2019, 15:27 half2me i mean I could always use the Text::uuid()
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:27 jeremyharris nah not that I know of. there might be on FOC awesome list
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:27 half2me there were functions for generating, renewing etc.
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:27 half2me and I saw in the database type
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:27 half2me because I would need to regenerate those values sometimes
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:27 jeremyharris but char(36) is still what you want
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:27 half2me just wondering if there is a behavior for that
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:27 half2me no problem, yeah I thought I would need to
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 jeremyharris sorry I misunderstood
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 half2me I mean it doesn't cause any problems if we always stamp it
# Mar 12th 2019, 15:26 jeremyharris then if it’s just a field like that you will have to populate it yourself
# 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)
