README
Provides a unique Base62-encoded UUID
representing a given state of a model instance.
This is particularly useful to keep track of model versions.
Why Base62 ?
Compared to MD5
, a Base62 hash is shorter and the alphabet used makes it cleaner to process, when used in a shorten URL for instance, or when stored in a database.
Requirements:
- PHP >= 5.4
- Laravel 4.2
Package installation
Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json
file to require lucasmichot/eloquentuuid
.
"require": { "lucasmichot/eloquentuuid": "0.*" }
Next, update Composer from the Terminal:
$ composer update
You can achieve these operations with this one-liner command :
$ composer require "lucasmichot/eloquentuuid:0.*"
Usage
use Lucasmichot\Eloquentuuid\UuidTrait; class Post extends Eloquent { use UuidTrait; // the code of your model comes here }
Accessing the UUID :
$post = Post::find(1); // update the attributes of the post echo $post->uuid();
Each time the model is modified, the UUID is changed accordingly.
