Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require guava/sqids-for-laravel

Usage

This package adds a slightly modified version of the Sqids class, which allows a fluent configuration of all options. It also adds a salting option.

Generating Sqids

There's multiple ways you can use this package to generate sqids:

// Via our Facade
use Guava\Sqids\Facades\Sqids;

Sqids::encode([1,2,3]); /// Outputs '86Rf07'



// Via a classic instance
use Guava\Sqids\Sqids;
$sqids = new Sqids();
$sqids->encode([1,2,3]); /// Outputs '86Rf07'



// Via the app container / dependency injection
use Guava\Sqids\Sqids;
app(Sqids::class)->encode([1,2,3]); /// Outputs '86Rf07'



// Via our factory method, which simply returns an instance of Sqids
// The factory method is also available on the facade class
use Guava\Sqids\Sqids;
Sqids::make()->encode([1,2,3]);

It's entirely up to you which way you prefer. In our examples, we will make use of the factory method.

Using in Eloquent Models

This package also comes with a trait that you can use in your Eloquent models. This trait will automatically add a sqid attribute which will be created from the model's primary key.

use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use \Guava\Sqids\Concerns\HasSqids;

class YourModel extends Model {
    use HasSqids;
    
    // ...
}

That's it! Now you can access the sqid attribute on your model.

You can custimize how the sqid on your model is generated by overriding the getSqids method:

use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use \Guava\Sqids\Concerns\HasSqids;
use \Guava\Sqids\Sqids;

class YourModel extends Model {
    use HasSqids;
    
    // ...
    
    protected function getSqids(): Sqids
    {
        return Sqids::make()
            ->salt() // This will use the model's class name as the salt, so every model generates different IDs
             // ... add more options here
        );
    }
}

Route binding

If you want to be able to use the sqid as the route key, simply add the HasSqidsRouting trait to your model:

use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use \Guava\Sqids\Concerns\HasSqids;
use \Guava\Sqids\Concerns\HasSqidsRouting;

class YourModel extends Model {
    use HasSqids, HasSqidsRouting;
    
    // ...
}

Options

Customizing the alphabet

use Guava\Sqids\Sqids;

Sqids::make()
->alphabet('0123456789abcdef')
->encode([1,2,3]); /// Outputs 'c9bf67'

Customizing the minLength

use Guava\Sqids\Sqids;

Sqids::make()
->minLength('8')
->encode([1,2,3]); /// Outputs '86Rf07xd'

Customizing the block list

use Guava\Sqids\Sqids;

Sqids::make()
->blocklist(['86Rf07'])
->encode([1,2,3]); /// Outputs 'se8ojk'

Salting

Salting can be used to generate different IDs based on the provided salt, which can be any string or integer.

use Guava\Sqids\Sqids;

Sqids::make()
->salt('my-salt')
->encode([1,2,3]); /// Outputs 'rx035W'

Salting is especially useful when used on Models with the HasSqids trait and you want every model to return different, unique IDs.

So for example a record of Model1 with the ID 1 has a different sqid that a record of Model2 with the ID 1.

use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use \Guava\Sqids\Concerns\HasSqids;
use \Guava\Sqids\Sqids;

class YourModel extends Model {
    use HasSqids;
    
    // ...
    
    protected function getSqids(): Sqids
    {
        return Sqids::make()
            ->salt() // This will use the model's class name as the salt, so every model generates different IDs
        );
    }
}
