Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Huge thanks to Micheal Dyrynda, whose work inspired me to create this package based on [laravel-model-nanoid](https://github.com/michaeldyrynda/laravel-model-uuid) but uses NanoId instead of UUID.

Why NanoID?

A tiny, secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator for PHP.

This package is PHP implementation of [ai's](https://github.com/ai) [nanoId](https://github.com/ai/nanoid). Read its documentation for more information.

- **Fast.** It is faster than NanoID.
- **Safe.** It uses cryptographically strong random APIs. Can be used in clusters.
- **Compact.** It uses a larger alphabet than NanoID (`A-Za-z0-9_-`). So ID size was reduced from 36 to 21 symbols.
- **Customizable.** Size, alphabet and Random Bytes Generator may be overridden.

> **Note**: this package explicitly does not disable auto-incrementing on your Eloquent models. In terms of database indexing, it is generally more efficient to use auto-incrementing integers for your internal querying. Indexing your `nanoId` column will make lookups against that column fast, without impacting queries between related models.
