Usage:

First run `composer install --no-dev`

Minimal use:

This generates a random Token (A-Z,a-z,0-9) with length 20. The Token can be used once without a time limit.

require_once '***path-to-vendor-folder***/autoload.php';
use JLanger\TokenGenerator\Token;
use JLanger\TokenGenerator\TokenGenerator;
$token = new Token();
try{
$token->setBeginDate(new DateTime('2020-06-01'))
        ->setEndDate(new DateTime('2020-06-20'))
        ->setMaxUse(0)
        ->setUseLeft(0);
$token = (new TokenGenerator($token))->generate();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    trigger_error(get_class($e) . ': ' . $e->getMessage(), E_USER_ERROR);
}

Optional parameters:

use `->beginDate(dateFormatString) to set a time where the token starts to be valid.\ use ->endDate(dateFormatString) to set a date until the token will be valid.\ use ->setBlowfishKey(string) to set the blowfish-key. Setting the key will enforce additional blowfish-encryption of the token.\ use ->generateBlowfishKey() to generate a random blowfish-key. Setting the key will enforce additional blowfish-encryption of the token.\ use ->setMaxUse(int) to specify how often the token can be used. 0 means forever.\ use ->setLength(int)` to specify the length of the random generated string for the token. Minimum is 20.

Default parameters:\ beginDate: now\ endDate: timestamp 0\ maxUse: 0\ length: 20

Validate a Token:

require_once '***path-to-vendor-folder***/autoload.php';
use JLanger\TokenGenerator\Token;
use JLanger\TokenGenerator\TokenGenerator;
$token = new Token();
try{
    $token->setBeginDate(new DateTime('2020-06-01'))
            ->setEndDate(new DateTime('2020-06-20'))
            ->setMaxUse(10)
            ->setUseLeft(10)
            ->setLength(20)
            ->setToken('176254dFgsr567FFzq67');
    $validate = $token->validate(); /* returns true or false. */
    /* optional */
    $token->updateUse();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    trigger_error(get_class($e) . ': ' . $e->getMessage(), E_USER_ERROR);
}
