Hashids for Laravel 4

This package uses the classes created by hashids.org

Generate hashes from numbers, like YouTube or Bitly. Use hashids when you do not want to expose your database ids to the user.

Installation

• Hashids on Packagist
• Hashids on GitHub

To get the latest version of Hashids simply require it in your composer.json file.

"torann/hashids": "1.0.*@dev"

You'll then need to run composer install to download it and have the autoloader updated.

Once Hashids is installed you need to register the service provider with the application. Open up app/config/app.php and find the providers key.

'Torann\Hashids\HashidsServiceProvider'

There is no need to add the Facade, the package will add it for you.

Publish the config

Run this on the command line from the root of your project:

$ php artisan config:publish torann/hashids

This will publish Hashids' config to app/config/packages/torann/hashids/.

Usage

Once you've followed all the steps and completed the installation you can use Hashids.

Encodeing

You can simply encode a single id:

Hashids::encode(1); // Returns Ri7Bi

or multiple..

Hashids::encode(1, 21, 12, 12, 666); // Returns MMtaUpSGhdA

Decodeing

Hashids::decode(Ri7Bi);

// Returns
array (size=1)
0 => int 1

or multiple..

Hashids::decode(MMtaUpSGhdA);

// Returns
array (size=5)
0 => int 1
1 => int 21
2 => int 12
3 => int 12
4 => int 666

Changelog

1.0.0

• Several public functions are renamed to be more appropriate:

  • Function encrypt() changed to encode()
  • Function decrypt() changed to decode()
  • Function encryptHex() changed to encodeHex()
  • Function decryptHex() changed to decodeHex()

  Hashids was designed to encode integers, primary ids at most. Hashids is the wrong algorithm to encrypt sensitive data. So to encourage more appropriate use, encrypt/decrypt is being "downgraded" to encode/decode.

• Version tag added: 1.0

• README.md updated
