Creating short ID for a record from in a database

1. when an app created a record in an your database with ID 20956
2. $shortId->encode(20956) encodes it to 'bfrE'
3. you updated the record for ID 20956 and set short_id of the record to 'bfrE'

$id = $shortId->encode(20956);     // $id will be 'bfrE'

// or with $length = 6
$id = $shortId->encode(20956, 6);  // $id will be 'baauC6'
