Hashids for Laravel 4
=====================

[](#hashids-for-laravel-4)

This package uses the classes created by [hashids.org](http://www.hashids.org/ "http://www.hashids.org/")

**Generate hashes from numbers, like YouTube or Bitly. Use hashids when you do not want to expose your database ids to the user.**

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

[](#installation)

Begin by installing the package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `mitch/hashids`.

```
"require": {
  "mitch/hashids": "1.x"
}
```

Next use Composer to update your project from the the Terminal:

```
php composer.phar update
```

Once the package has been installed you'll need to add the service provider. Open your `app/config/app.php` configuration file, and add a new item to the `providers` array.

```
'Mitch\Hashids\HashidsServiceProvider'
```

After doing this you also need to add an alias. In your `app/config/app.php` file, add this to the `aliases` array.

```
'Hashids' => 'Mitch\Hashids\Hashids'
```

Now last but not least you need to publish to package configuration from your Terminal:

```
php artisan config:publish mitch/hashids
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once you've followed all the steps and completed the installation you can use Hashids.

### Encoding

[](#encoding)

You can simply encrypt on id:

```
Hashids::encode(1); // Creating hash... Ri7Bi
```

or multiple..

```
Hashids::encode(1, 21, 12, 12, 666); // Creating hash... MMtaUpSGhdA
```

### Decoding

[](#decoding)

It's the same thing but the other way around:

```
Hashids::decode('Ri7Bi');

// Returns
array (size=1)
  0 => int 1
```

or multiple..

```
Hashids::decode('MMtaUpSGhdA');

// Returns
array (size=5)
  0 => int 1
  1 => int 21
  2 => int 12
  3 => int 12
  4 => int 666
```

### Injecting Hashids

[](#injecting-hashids)

Now it's also possible to have Hashids injected into your class. Lets look at this controller as an example..

```
class ExampleController extends BaseController
{
    protected $hashids;

    public function __construct(Hashids\Hashids $hashids)
    {
        $this->hashids = $hashids;
    }

    public function getIndex()
    {
        $hash = $this->hashids->encode(1);
        return View::make('example.index', compact('hash'));
    }
}
```

The original classname and namespace has been bound in the IoC container to return our instantiated Hashids class.

### Using IoC

[](#using-ioc)

Create a Hashids instance with the IoC

```
App::make('Hashids\Hashids')->encode(1);
```

That's it!
