UUIDBIN16

This package adds support for binary(16) type to sql in golang to store UUID as binary(16).

How to use

Add the package to your project:

go get github.com/alirasoli/uuidbin16

Convert uuid strings to uuidbin16 type:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/alirasoli/uuidbin16"
	"github.com/google/uuid"
)

func main() {
	uuidbin16, err := uuidbin16.StringToBin16(uuid.New().String())
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	u := uuidbin16.String()
	fmt.Println(u)
}

And then you can define your database models with this type and it handles sql part for you.
