README

Hashidable uses hashids to obfuscate Laravel route ids.

Installation

Note: This package is built to work with Laravel versions greater than 7. It may work in older version, but this has not been tested.

composer require kayandra/hashidable

Setup

Import the Hashidable trait and add it to your model.

use Kayandra\Hashidable\Hashidable;

Class User extends Model
{
  use Hashidable;
}

Usage

$user = User::find(1);

$user->id; // 1
$user->hashid; // 3RwQaeoOR1E7qjYy

User::find(1);
User::findByHashId('3RwQaeoOR1E7qjYy');
User::findByHashidOrFail('3RwQaeoOR1E7qjYy');

Route Model Binding

Assuming we have a route resource defined as follows:

Route::apiResource('users', UserController::class);

This package does not affect route model bindings, the only difference is, instead of placing the id in the generated route, it uses the hashid instead.

So, route('users.show', $user) returns /users/3RwQaeoOR1E7qjYy;

When you define your controller that auto-resolves a model in the parameters, it will work as always.

public function show(Request $request, User $user)
{
  return $user; // Works just fine
}

Configuring

First, publish the config file using:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=hashidable.config

The available configuration options are:

return [
    /**
     * Length of the generated hashid.
     */
    'length' => 16,

    /**
     * Character set used to generate the hashids.
     */
    'charset' => 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890',

    /**
     * Prefix attached to the generated hash.
     */
    'prefix' => '',

    /**
     * Suffix attached to the generated hash.
     */
    'suffix' => '',

    /**
     * If a prefix of suffix is defined, we use this as a separator
     * between the prefix/suffix.
     */
    'separator' => '-',
];

Per-Model Configuration

You can also extend the global configuration on a per-model basis. To do this, your model should implement the Kayandra\Hashidable\HashidableConfigInterface and define the hashidableConfig() method on the model.

This method returns an array or subset of options similar to the global configuration.

    public function hashidableConfig()
    {
        return ['prefix' => 'app'];
    }
