```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install activerecord-mysql-uuid-column

## Usage

Regular MySQL ActiveRecord config

```

test:

  adapter: mysql2

  username: root

  host: localhost

  reconnect: true

  database: awesome_project_of_yours

```

Adds column type `uuid`

```

ActiveRecord::Schema.define(version: 20161122225732) do

  create_table "workers", force: true do |t|

    t.uuid     "job_uuid"

  end

end

```

Define it in your model

```

class Worker < ActiveRecord::Base

  attribute :job_uuid, :uuid

end

```

Then use as regular string column, except that it will be stored in a 16 bytes binary column.
