Example Usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

#### Creating a key from a number:

[](#creating-a-key-from-a-number)

You can only encode an integer greater than or equal to one.

```
use KeyN\Make\Key62;

$instance = Key62::make();
$key = $instance->encode(100000);
```

#### Set your own character set to create keys:

[](#set-your-own-character-set-to-create-keys)

```
use KeyN\Make\Key62;

$characters = 'wWpJbH8nIDed1Evq5OcToF2ZuXsayz7RrtP490ixSKC3GM6gYkNVhBUQmLlfAj';

$instance = Key62::make($characters);
$key = $instance->encode(100000);
```

#### Getting the number from the key:

[](#getting-the-number-from-the-key)

You can decode the key if all of its characters are in the class set.

```
use KeyN\Make\Key62;

$instance = Key62::make();
$number = $instance->decode('Gh1a');
```
