This allows multiple users to share the same nickname, while allowing accounts to be tied to, for example, email addresses for uniqueness. Installation using Composer --------------------------- [](#installation-using-composer) ``` composer require sonata-project/google-authenticator ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Discriminator is very simple to use. Below are some examples, but first, make things easier on yourself: ``` use Steelblade/Discriminator/Discriminator; ``` If you use another package that has a class of the same name, substitute the classes below with the full namespace. ### Generate a discriminator [](#generate-a-discriminator) Generating a discriminator can be done in one of two ways. First, you can simply create an object without passing a parameter in. ``` $discriminator = new Discriminator(); ``` As no parameter has been passed, it will generate one automatically, in a range of 0 to 9999 inclusive. You can then, if disired, get the integer value using ``` $intVal = $discriminator->get(); ``` Alternatively, to generate a discriminator without instantiating, a static method exists to return an integer value. ``` $discriminator = Discriminator::generate(); ``` ### Loading a user from a database [](#loading-a-user-from-a-database) Lets say a you want to display a profile page for a user, and you retrieve their information from a database. ``` class User { private $ID; private $emailAddress; public $nickname; public $discriminator; ... public function login($emailAddress, $password) { // Retrieve the user from the database and verify their password. if ($successfulLogin) { $this->emailAddress = $databaseRow['email']; $this->nickname = $databaseRow['nickname']; $this->discriminator = new Discriminator($databaseRow['discriminator']); } } } ``` The discriminator reads the numeric value, and creates itself accordingly. ### Displaying a discriminator [](#displaying-a-discriminator) Discriminators can be included in strings. For example: ``` return "The discriminator for $user->nickname is $user->discriminator"; // The discriminator for Master Steelblade is 0451 ``` Representations of discriminators add leading zeroes to make the length consistent. You can also retrieve the string value statically, by providing an integer value: ``` $integer = 47; $discriminator = Discriminator::format($integer); // Returns 0047 as a string ``` License ------- [](#license) Discriminator is provided under the MIT license. ### Health Score 24 — LowBetter than 32% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity5 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity56 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
