Code Number Generator for Laravel
=================================

[](#code-number-generator-for-laravel)

A Laravel package to generate code numbers, such as product numbers, transaction numbers, etc.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use this procedure to generate number

```
$generator = new CodeNumber;
$number = $generator->generate($format, $params);

```

### Parameters

[](#parameters)

#### $format

[](#format)

A string with a number of curly brackets in it where codes will be generated.

Available formats are:

##### **{d:*formatdate*}**

[](#dformatdate)

You can replace *formatdate* with any PHP Date Format.

##### **{r:*randomnumber*}**

[](#rrandomnumber)

This will generate random number with digits in range of the *randomnumber* string length.

For example: with randomnumber 0000 (you can replace 0 with any character you prefer) a random number ranged from 1000 to 9999 will be generated.

##### **{i:*increment*}**

[](#iincrement)

This will generate increments with length of *increment*. You can only include this format once. If there are more than one, only the last occurence will be generated.

For example: {i:0000} will generate 0001, 0002, and so on.

#### $params

[](#params)

You can also specify a string in curly bracket other than the above formats. The string will be replaced by values from this parameter. This will come in handy if you have formats you want to generate your own.

For example:

```
$params = Array("number" => 100);

$generator = new CodeNumber;
return $generator->generate("APP:{number}", $params);

// this will return APP:100

```

### Example Code

[](#example-code)

```
use NocturnalSm\Generator\CodeNumber;

public function generateNumber()
{
    $format = "EX.{d:dmY}.{store}.{i:0000}";
    $generator = new CodeNumber;
    $number = $generator->generate($format, ["store" => "APX");
}

```
