README

Tiny and secure unique string ID generator for PHP.

  • Safe. It uses cryptographically strong random APIs and guarantees a proper distribution of symbols.
  • Small. Only one class to handle all the logic. No dependencies.
  • Compact. It uses more symbols than UUID (A-Za-z0-9) and has the same number of unique options in just 22 symbols instead of 36.

This tool was created based on JS library nanoid as a simplified version of other ported PHP libraries hidehalo/nanoid-php and better/nanoid.

To optimize the length of your unique IDs, use this tool to check collision probabilities. Don't forget that this library uses as default only characters A-Za-z0-9.

Requirements

This library was developed for PHP 7.3 or newer.

Installation

The best way to install this library is using Composer:

$ composer require deable/nanoid

Usage

$id = Deable\Nanoid::generate(22);
