Snowflake ID generator for Laravel, supports int64 & Base62.

Install

In your terminal:

# install the package
composer require haritsyp/laravel-snowflake

• if you are using laravel <= 5.5, add the following snippet to the config/app.php file under the providers section as follows:

// Add this line
'providers' => [
    // Laravel default providers
    App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
    // ...
    
    Haritsyp\Snowflake\SnowflakeServiceProvider::class,
],

Usage: Trait in Models

• Add the UsesSnowflake trait to any Eloquent model to automatically generate IDs:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Haritsyp\Snowflake\UseSnowflake;

class Order extends Model
{
    use UseSnowflake;

    public $incrementing = false; // disable auto-increment
}

• Now, whenever you create a new Order:

$order = Order::create([
    'name' => 'Sample Order',
    'amount' => 1000,
]);

echo $order->id; 

Parsing Snowflake IDs

You can parse a generated ID to get its components:

$snowflake = app(Haritsyp\Snowflake\Snowflake::class);
$parsed = $snowflake->parse($order->id);

print_r($parsed);
/*
[
    'timestamp' => 1612224000000,
    'datacenter_id' => 1,
    'node_id' => 1,
    'sequence' => 0,
    'datetime' => '2021-02-02 00:00:00'
]
