About snowflake
===============

[](#about-snowflake)

Snowflake is a package for Laravel that allows [Twitter's 64 bit snowflake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_ID) to be used as primary identifier for models.

Advantages over other identifiers
=================================

[](#advantages-over-other-identifiers)

- Keys begin with a timestamp
- Keys end with a random number, so guessing the size of the table is impossible
- Keys consist entirely of integers, which are handled more efficiently than strings
- Faster key generation (<1ms)
    - Standard UUID v4 - 5.6 milliseconds
    - Sortable UUID v4 - 8.3 milliseconds
    - ULID - 3.1 milliseconds
    - **Snowflake - 0.4 milliseconds**

Installation
============

[](#installation)

```
composer require jakyeru/snowflake
```
