Eloquent Binary Uuid Laravel Package

verbanent/eloquent-binary-uuid brings compact binary UUIDs to Laravel Eloquent models. Instead of storing UUIDs as 36-character strings, it stores them in 16-byte binary columns, reducing storage and improving index performance while keeping UUID generation and model handling transparent.

• Store UUID keys as BINARY(16) for ~56% less space.
• Seamless Eloquent integration via trait/cast—no manual conversions.
• Faster indexes and joins on compact binary keys.
• Compatible with Laravel UUID generation and route model binding.
• Configurable column/type handling for existing schemas.
