README

This Laravel package makes it easy to generate random strings from a given charset. It can also generate database table and/or column unique strings.

Installation

This package can be installed through Composer.

composer require jorenvanhocht/hashify

You must register the service provider.

// config/app.php
'provider' => [
    ...
    jorenvanhocht\Hashify\Providers\HashifyServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];

This package also comes with a facade, which provides an easy way to call the class.

// config/app.php
'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Hashify'    => jorenvanhocht\Hashify\Facades\Hashify::class,
    ...
];

You can publish the config file of this package with this command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="jorenvanhocht\Hashify\HashifyServiceProvider"

<?php

return [
    'charsets' => [
        'database' => 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw0123456789',
    ],
];

Usage

private $hashify;
public function __construct(Hashify $hashify)
{
	$this->hashify = $hashify;
}

public function myMethod()
{
	// random string
