Settings View Source Migrating From elixir_uuid

Migration from elixir_uuid is very simple, and you have 2 paths depending on how it is used in your project today.

1. You no longer depend on elixir_uuid directly or indirectly
2. You no longer depend on elixir_uuid directly, but it is still present in your dependency tree

In the first scenario, all you need to do is replace any uses of UUID in your project with Uniq.UUID, or simply alias Uniq.UUID in those modules.

NOTE: The info/1 and info!/1 functions return a struct by default, so if you use those functions and you aren't planning to add the compatibility shim, you'll want to update those uses. See the function docs for information on the structure.

In the second scenario - which also applies if you just want to add the dependency without making any code changes - you must add an override dependency for :elixir_uuid, like so:

defp deps do
  [
    {:uniq, "~> x.x"},
    {:elixir_uuid, "~> 0.1", hex: :uniq_compat, override: true},
  ]
end

This replaces the :elixir_uuid dependency with a shim that delegates to :uniq internally. With this in place, elixir_uuid is removed from your dependency tree entirely.
