Laravel Public ULID
===================

[](#laravel-public-ulid)

Binary ULID public identifiers for Laravel models.

This package stores ULIDs in a compact 16-byte binary column, casts them to their canonical Base32 string form, and makes them suitable for public routes.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.2+
- Laravel 12+
- `symfony/uid` 7+

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require awtechs/laravel-public-ulid
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

1. Add the schema macro in a migration:

```
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->publicUlid();
});
```

2. Add the trait to your model:

```
use Awtechs\PublicUlid\Concerns\HasPublicUlid;

final class User extends Model
{
    use HasPublicUlid;
}
```

Now `public_id` is automatically created as a ULID, stored as binary, and used for route model binding.

How It Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

- **Binary storage:** `public_id` is a 16-byte binary column.
- **Cast:** `public_id` is cast to a Base32 ULID string via `BinaryUlidCast`.
- **Auto-generation:** on `creating`, if `public_id` is missing, a ULID is set.
- **Route key:** `getRouteKeyName()` returns `public_id`.

Casting
-------

[](#casting)

If you need to customize or reuse the cast directly:

```
use Awtechs\PublicUlid\Casts\BinaryUlidCast;

protected $casts = [
    'public_id' => BinaryUlidCast::class,
];
```

Validation Rule
---------------

[](#validation-rule)

```
use Awtechs\PublicUlid\Rules\ValidUlid;

request()->validate([
    'public_id' => ['required', new ValidUlid()],
]);
```

Console Command
---------------

[](#console-command)

Decode ULID details from the CLI:

```
php artisan ulid:inspect 01HZX9J4P7VWH2T0R0X6Q8N5E3
```

Testing Helpers
---------------

[](#testing-helpers)

```
use Awtechs\PublicUlid\Testing\AssertsUlids;
use Awtechs\PublicUlid\Testing\GeneratesUlids;

final class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    use AssertsUlids;
    use GeneratesUlids;

    public function test_ulid_helpers(): void
    {
        $ulid = $this->newUlid();
        $this->assertValidUlid($ulid);
    }
}
```

Add the Faker provider if you need ULIDs in factories:

```
use Awtechs\PublicUlid\Testing\Faker\PublicUlidProvider;

$faker->addProvider(new PublicUlidProvider($faker));
$faker->ulid();
```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- The column name is `public_id` by design.
- ULIDs are stored in binary, but are exposed as Base32 strings in PHP.
