ConciseUuid
===========

[](#conciseuuid)

ConciseUuid is an Eloquent Model that uses a concise UUIDv4 as the primary key.

A normal UUID is 36 characters and looks like:

```
d318fb95-5b49-47ca-abd5-326a60524e70

```

This is very long, and in base16, there is a lot of unnecessary space.

ConciseUuid takes this, strips out the "-" and converts the base16 into base62 (0-9, a-z, A-Z). Here is the Concise version of the above UUID:

```
Old: d318fb95-5b49-47ca-abd5-326a60524e70
New: 6QKnU3XheQMk3E6Vq1B4l6

```

As you can see, it is much more concise: 15 characters less!

Because of how the UUIDv4 algorithm is specified, a UUID will never begin with anything other than a number (0-9). So if you want a special class of UUIDs, pass in `true`. These UUIDs will *always* begin with a letter, letting you quickly differentiate them from normal UUIDs.

```
echo ConciseUuid::generateNewId(true);
// Output: rEBzkc6s67JU3kI7ZuA7TU

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
SQL:
CREATE TABLE my_model (id char(22) primary key);

PHP:
namespace PHPExperts\ConciseUuid\ConciseUuidModel;

class MyModel extends ConciseUuidModel
{
}

For your users table:
namespace PHPExperts\ConciseUuid\ConciseUuidAuthModel;

class User extends ConciseUuidAuthModel
{
}

```

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