So, you don’t have to add aliases or provides etc, just need to install webpatser/laravel-uuid package using composer require command.
So, let’s simply run bellow command to install webpatser/laravel-uuid composer package to your laravel project:

Generate Uuid:
Route::get('uuid-gen', function () {
dd(Uuid::generate()->string);
});
