Custom Encrypter for Laravel
============================

[](#custom-encrypter-for-laravel)

This package uses Laravel's encryption but allows you to specify a custom passphrase instead of using the application key. This can be useful if some of the database data should be encrypted so that only someone with the passphrase can decrypt it.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require taylornetwork/encrypter
```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

`TaylorNetwork\Encrypter\Encrypter` is ready to run right out of the box.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Instantiate `TaylorNetwork\Encrypter\Encrypter`

The class requires 1 parameter, the passphrase you want to encrypt/decrypt with.

```
$passphrase = 'secret 123';

$encrypter = new TaylorNetwork\Encrypter\Encrypter($passphrase);
```

*Note: Laravel's Encrypter class requires a passphrase of exactly 16 characters, `TaylorNetwork\Encrypter\Encrypter` will lengthen or shorten the supplied passphrase and then encode it using base64 before passing it to Laravel's Encrypter class so that you can supply any length of passphrase you want.*
