Add unique ID

[lenivene]

Generate a unique ID when insert value

[kungknut]

According to the official php documentation at php.net the function does not guarantee uniqueness.

I suppose this won't be a problem when running in development and demonstration environment but it's a limitation worth knowing.

What's your thoughts about adding dependencies and using UUIDv4?

If you can accept adding ramsey/uuid as a dependency you could do something like this to generate a UUIDv4 string instead of uniqid();

Uuid::uuid4()->toString()

What about using the function with time and options more_entropy: uniqid(time(), true);.

Or you can include paragonie/random_compat as a dependency and use random_int and such PHP7 functions even on PHP5 to get unique random values.
