is it possible to generate uuid for existing db entry? #111

I have some users on my live server and only recently used this package to add a UUID to the user model. Is it possible to still generate a uuid for the users that were already registered before I added UUIDs to the site? Thanks!

The package functionality will only generate a new UUID for a (new) model’s creating event.

If you need to backfill existing records, you’d need to do so yourself either manually with tinker, via a one-time command, or inside of a database migration.
