Custom UUID generator in rails?

0 votes
245 views

I was reading the docs for primary key on postgresql and I saw that there was a way to add a custom stored procedure that returns a UUID. There is a test case as well that uses a custom uuid generator

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/650ea5e5cf50d8a**********cf1762922d330a8/activerecord/test/cases/adapters/postgresql/uuid_test.rb#L193

But I was not sure how to to implement this myself. Like in the test case where do I place my_uuid_generator() and how to implement it in my rails application?

ActiveRecord::Base.class_eval do

# old rails versions
set_primary_key 'uuid'

before_create :generate_uuid
def generate_uuid
self.id = UUIDTools::UUID.random_create.to_s
end
end

This is working for new data,now i want to migrate existing data with relation.for uuid they are using datatype as string,in postgresql the data type used for primary_key and foreign key is integer ,so if i am trying to change foreign key integer to string it is throwing error.
