gorm-uuid

Datatype UUID stored as binary(16) by GORM

About

GORM store UUID as string or uuid type, it's more efficient and use less resources to store UUID as a binary, it would be a bummer to not use this option because we're using an ORM.

Usage

Use the type GormUUID on the model ID as following :

import "github.com/euphoria-laxis/gorm-uuid/uuid"

type MyModel struct {
	ID          uuid.GormUUID   `gorm:"primary_key;default:(UUID_TO_BIN(UUID()));"`
    // following fields are used to match gorm.Model interface
	CreatedAt   time.Time
	UpdatedAt   time.Time
	DeletedAt   gorm.DeletedAt  `gorm:"index"`
}

And that's it! Gorm will do all the work to and you will have nothing to do.
