[](#flametrenchids)

[![CI](https://github.com/flametrench/ids-php/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/flametrench/ids-php/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Prefixed wire-format identifiers for [Flametrench](https://github.com/flametrench/spec).

```
use Flametrench\Ids\Id;

Id::generate('usr');
// → "usr_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef"

Id::encode('org', '0190f2a8-1b3c-7abc-8123-456789abcdef');
// → "org_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef"

Id::decode('usr_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef');
// → ['type' => 'usr', 'uuid' => '0190f2a8-1b3c-7abc-8123-456789abcdef']

Id::isValid('usr_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef');           // true
Id::isValid('usr_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef', 'org');    // false
```

Why prefixed IDs
----------------

[](#why-prefixed-ids)

Flametrench uses UUIDv7 in storage and prefixed strings on the wire. The wire format is self-describing: `usr_...` is a user, `org_...` is an organization, `ses_...` is a session. This is the Stripe playbook, and it pays off in every log line, support ticket, and debugger session.

The specification details live at [flametrench/spec/docs/ids.md](https://github.com/flametrench/spec/blob/main/docs/ids.md). Implementations in other languages follow the same format.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require flametrench/ids
```

Requires PHP 8.3 or newer. Ships with a dependency on `symfony/uid` for UUID handling.

Registered type prefixes
------------------------

[](#registered-type-prefixes)

The specification reserves the following prefixes:

PrefixResourceSpec version`usr`Userv0.1`org`Organizationv0.1`mem`Membershipv0.1`inv`Invitationv0.1`ses`Sessionv0.1`cred`Credentialv0.1`tup`Authorization tuplev0.1`mfa`MFA factorv0.2`shr`Share tokenv0.2Implementations must not invent prefixes outside the specification. New prefixes are added through the specification's RFC process.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer install
composer test
```

The package uses PEST. The test suite covers encoding, decoding, validation, generation, round-trip properties, and sortability of generated IDs.
