-## Usage
-
-When declaring a new model, extend the Meta model:
-
-``` php
-<?php
-
-namespace App;
-
-class Post extends Meta 
-{
-    // fillable, hidden, etc. arrays
-}
-```
-
-> *Important*: do not extend the Model class, Meta does this for you
-
-The Meta plugin adds a custom Artisan command to auto-generate migrations for meta-enabled models.
-To generate a migration for a new meta-model, use the following command:
-
-``` bash
-$ php artisan meta:migration name_of_migration --create=table_name
-```
-
-> (The `meta:migration` command extends the `make:migration`, so it contains all of the original functionality.)
-
-
-Add your custom fields, if any, then migrate as usual:
-
-``` bash
-$ php artisan migrate
-```
-
-Then, just create a model like usual:
-
-``` php
-public function createPost () {
-    $post = Post::create([
-        // post data
-    ]);
-}
-```
-
-But now, you have access to a universal identifier for every model in the entire project.
-
-You can check if a model has a UUID, and get it if it does:
-``` php
-$post->hasUuid(); // returns true or false
-$post->getUuid(); // returns the UUID
-```
-
-The other big feature of the Meta model is saving meta information.
-This information is stored in the database in one column: 'meta'
-
-To save meta information, use the 'write' method.
-``` php
-$post->write('author', 'Bob Saget');
-```
-
-And to retrieve meta information, use the 'read' method.
-``` php
-$post->read('author'); //returns 'Bob Saget'
-```
-
-### Adding Meta functionality to existing models
-
-To add Meta capabilities to existing models, you need to add the database columns and tweak the model's class as follows:
-
-##### Database update
-
-Create a new database migration using the custom Meta command:
-
-``` bash
-$ php artisan meta:migration --table=existing_table_name
-```
-
-Make sure the inside of the `up()` function contains the `formTable` function:
-
-``` php
-public function up()
-{
-    Schema::table('existing_table_name', function (Blueprint $table) {
-        Meta::formTable($table);
-    });
-}
-```
-
-Then, migrate:
-
-``` bash
-$ php artisan migrate
-```
-
-##### Model Class updates
-
-To enable the database functionality, the class for the model needs to extend the Meta class. Modify the class header to the following format:
-
-``` php
-
-class ClassNameHere extends Meta {
-    // your class stuff here
-}
-```
-
-> *Important*: you no longer need to extend the Model class, Meta does this for you
-
-After that, you can use the full meta functionality with your model. 
-
-### Query Builder
-
-Let's say you need to retrieve the post that has a certain UUID (maybe you gave it out in a url or something)
-
-It's super easy to search for it:
-``` php
-Post::withUuid($uuid)->first();
-```
-
-It is completely integrated into the query builder, so you can still do stuff like:
-``` php
-Post::withUuid($uuid)->pluck('username');
-Post::withUuid($uuid)->firstOrFail();
-```
