Install

composer require veelasky/laravel-hashid

With laravel package auto discovery, this will automatically add this package to your laravel application.

TLDR

Simply add HashableId trait on any of your eloquent model you are intending to use with HashId.

Example:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Veelasky\LaravelHashId\Eloquent\HashableId;

class User extends Model {
    use HashableId;
    ...
}

Usage

With Eloquent Model

$user = User::find(1);     // instance of user.
$user->hash;               // generate HashId.

// Database operation

// get user by hashed id.
$user = User::byHash($hash);

// get user by hashed id, and throw ModelNotFoundException if not present.
$user = User::byHashOrFail($hash);

// get hashed id from the primary key.
User::idToHash($id);

// get ID from hashed string.
User::hashToId($hash);

 // query scope with `byHash` method.
User::query()->byHash($hash);

By default, all hash calculation will be calculated at runtime, but sometime you want to persist the hashed id to the database.

NOTE: when using persisting model, all database query will be check againts the table itself, except: $model->hash will always be calculated at runtime.

class User extends Model {
    use HashableId;

    // add this property to your model if you want to persist to the database.
    protected $shouldHashPersist = true;

    // by default, the persisted value will be stored in `hashid` column
    // override column name to your desired name.
    protected $hashColumnName = 'hashid';
    ...
}

Salt

The salt is generated automatically based on your app key and hash_alphabet. If you need to use the same salt between different projects, you can set the HASHID_SALT environment variable.

Route binding

When HashableId trait is used, base getRouteKey() and resolveRouteBinding() are overwritten to use the HashId as route key.

use App\Models\User;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Route /users/{user}
     * Ex: GET /users/k1jTdv6l
     */
    public function show(User $user)
    {
        ...
    }
}

In-Depth Coverage

This package use repository pattern to store all instantiated implementation of HashId\HashId class, this to achieve different hash result on every eloquent models defined with HashableId trait.

// using facade.
HashId::hashToId($hash, User::class)      // same as User::hashToId($hash);
HashId::idToHash($id, User::class)        // same as User::idToHash($hash);

// HashId facade class is an implementation of \Veelasky\Laravel\HashId\Repository

However you can opt-out to not using any eloquent model or implementing your own logic to the repository.

HashId::make($key, $salt);              // will return \HashId\HashId class.

// once you instantiated the object, you can retrieve it on your next operation
HashId::get($key);

If you're using single table inheritance model, where you want to has the same calculated hash across all inherited models, use $hashKey property, this will result the calculation remain the same across all inherited model.

class User extends Model {
    protected $hashKey = 'somethingUnique';
}

class Customer extends User {

}

$customer = Customer::find(1);
$user = User::find(1);

$user->hash; // will be equal to $customer->hash

You can also specify the length and characters of the hashed Id with HASHID_LENGTH and HASHID_ALPHABET environment variable respectively, or you can publish the configuration file using this command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-hashid-config

Extra: Validation Rules

You can also use this as validation rules, simply add this rule to your validator.

use App\Models\User;
use Veelasky\LaravelHashId\Rules\ExistsByHash;

...
Validator::make([
    'id' => $hashedId
], [
    'id' => ['required', new ExistsByHash(User::class)],
]);
...
