This is how I currently use binary IDs in my Phoenix apps.
Generate the app:
mix phx.new path/to/app --binary-id
Configure Ecto and migrations:
config :app_otp_name,
namespace: App,
ecto_repos: [App.Repo],
generators: [binary_id: true]
config :app_otp_name, App.Repo,
migration_primary_key: [name: :id, type: :binary_id]
Configure Ecto schemas:
@primary_key {:id, :binary_id, autogenerate: true}
@foreign_key_type :binary_id
How can I configure this to use PostgreSQL-generated UUIDv7 values instead of UUIDv4 values?
