Using BIN_TO_UUID / UUID_TO_BIN

I’m trying to understand the best way to use BIN_TO_UUID and UUID_TO_BIN (MySQL).

The below is working fine...

export const users = mysqlTable('User', {
 uuid: binary('uuid', { length: 16 }).default(sql`(UUID_TO_BIN(UUID(), 1))`).primaryKey(),
 username: varchar('username', { length: 256 }).notNull(),
}

const select = await db
 .select({ uuid: sql<string>`BIN_TO_UUID(${users.uuid}, 1)` })
 .from(users)

const update = await db
 .update(users)
 .set({ username: 'foo' })
 .where(eq(users.uuid, sql<string>`UUID_TO_BIN(${myUserUuid}, 1)`))


...but I was wondering if there was a better approach, so that the UUID<>BIN conversion would automatically apply - without having to manually specify it on each query?

Here is an example of what I’m looking for (fromSQL and toSQL are made up functions):

const customBinary = customType<{
 data: string; driverData: string; config: { length?: number }
}>({
 dataType(config) {
  return typeof config?.length !== 'undefined' ? `binary(${config.length})` : `binary`
 },
 // automatically apply on select + return
 fromSQL(value: string): string {
  return `BIN_TO_UUID(${value}, 1)`
 },
 // automatically apply on insert/update + select filters
 toSQL(value: string): string {
  return `UUID_TO_BIN(${value}, 1)`
 }
});

export const users = mysqlTable('User', {
 uuid: customBinary('uuid', { length: 16 }).default(sql`(UUID_TO_BIN(UUID(), 1))`).primaryKey(),
 username: varchar('username', { length: 256 }).notNull(),
}


Is there any way to do something similar right now?
