Add Stripe-like universal ids to your models that can be decoded back to their integer ids.

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

[](#installation)

Caution

Please note that this is a new package and, even though it is well tested, it should be considered pre-release software

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require shabushabu/laravel-uid
```

Publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="uid-config"
```

### Prefixes

[](#prefixes)

You will then have to add all your models to the `prefixes` array in the config file:

```
return [
    // ...
    'prefixes' => [
        'usr' => \App\Models\User::class,
    ],
];
```

### Create a custom alphabet

[](#create-a-custom-alphabet)

Run the following command and add the output to your `.env` file:

```
php artisan uid:alphabet
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The first step for every model should be to add the provided `HasUid` trait and the `Identifiable` interface. This also ensures that route model binding works as expected with UIDs.

```
use ShabuShabu\Uid\Concerns\HasUid;
use ShabuShabu\Uid\Contracts\Identifiable;

class User extends Model implements Identifiable
{
    use HasUid;
}
```

### Alphabets per model

[](#alphabets-per-model)

If you want to use custom alphabets for your models, you need to add them to the config file. Any model that does not use a custom alphabet will use the default alphabet.

```
return [
    // ...
    'alphabets' => [
        'usr' => 'abcdefgh...'
    ],
];
```

### Encode from an id

[](#encode-from-an-id)

```
use ShabuShabu\Uid\Service\Uid;

$uid = Uid::make()->encodeFromId(User::class, 1);

// something like: usr_86Rf07xd4z
```

### Encode a model

[](#encode-a-model)

```
use ShabuShabu\Uid\Facades\Uid;

// using the facade...
$uid = Uid::encode(User::find(1));

// something like: usr_86Rf07xd4z
```

### Decode a uid

[](#decode-a-uid)

```
// using the global function
$decoded = uid()->decode('usr_86Rf07xd4z');

// returns an instance of DecodedUid::class
```

### Decode to a model

[](#decode-to-a-model)

```
use ShabuShabu\Uid\Service\Uid;

$model = Uid::make()->decodeToModel('usr_86Rf07xd4z');

// returns an instance of User::class

$model = Uid::make()->withTrashed()->decodeToModel('usr_86Rf07xd4z');

// returns an instance of User::class, even if the model is trashed
```

### Check if a uid is valid

[](#check-if-a-uid-is-valid)

```
use ShabuShabu\Uid\Service\Uid;

$valid = Uid::make()->isValid('usr_86Rf07xd4z');

// returns true if the prefix exists

$valid = Uid::make()->isValid('usr_86Rf07xd4z', User::class);

// returns true if the prefix exists and belongs to the class
```

### Retrieve the alias of a given class

[](#retrieve-the-alias-of-a-given-class)

```
use ShabuShabu\Uid\Facades\Uid;

$alias = Uid::alias(User::class);

// returns usr
```

### Model info based on a UID

[](#model-info-based-on-a-uid)

If you have a UID and would like some info about it, then you can use the following command:

```
php artisan uid:info
```

### Using your prefixes as the morph map

[](#using-your-prefixes-as-the-morph-map)

You need to either set the `UID_MORPH_MAP_ENABLED` env variable to `true` or enable it directly in the config file.

By default, this will enable an enforced morph map, but you are free to change this to a regular one.

```
return [
    // ...
    'morph_map' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'type' => 'regular',
    ],
];
```

### A word of warning

[](#a-word-of-warning)

Please note that this package does **not** work with string or compound primary keys. The underlying [Squids](https://github.com/sqids/sqids-php) library supports the encoding of an integer array, so compound primary keys might eventually be supported.

Validation
----------

[](#validation)

This package comes with its own validation rule that can be used like so:

```
use ShabuShabu\Uid\Service\Uid;

Uid::rule(User::class);
```

or

```
use ShabuShabu\Uid\Service\Rule;

new Rule(User::class);
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```
