PHP library to generate unique, URL friendly tokens. Built with TDD.

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

[](#installation)

Add the following to your project's composer.json require block:

```
"mikefrancis/tokenizr": "^2.0"

```

and run `composer update` to pull in the package.

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

Create a new `Tokenizr` instance:

```
$tokenizr = new MikeFrancis\Tokenizr\Tokenizr();

```

and then go ahead and generate some tokens:

```
$token = $tokenizr->generate();

```

By default Tokenizr will generate URL friendly, alpha-numeric tokens. If you'd like to change the bank of characters which is used, you can do by overriding the default character set:

```
$tokenizr->setCharacters('!@£$%^&*()');

```

You can also set a bunch of tokens first, as not to create duplicates when generating new ones:

```
$tokenizr->setExistingTokens(['4uNq1', '6ijRw']);

```

By default, Tokenizr will generate 5 character strings, but if you'd like them to be longer/shorter just do the following before you generate any tokens:

```
$tokenizr->setTokenLength(32);

```
