README
ConciseUuid is an Eloquent Model that uses a concise UUIDv4 as the primary key.
A normal UUID is 36 characters and looks like:
d318fb95-5b49-47ca-abd5-326a60524e70
This is very long, and in base16, there is a lot of unnecessary space.
ConciseUuid takes this, strips out the "-" and converts the base16 into base62 (0-9, a-z, A-Z). Here is the Concise version of the above UUID:
Old: d318fb95-5b49-47ca-abd5-326a60524e70
New: 6QKnU3XheQMk3E6Vq1B4l6
As you can see, it is much more concise: 15 characters less!
Because of how the UUIDv4 algorithm is specified, a UUID will never begin with anything
other than a number (0-9). So if you want a special class of UUIDs, pass in true. These
UUIDs will always begin with a letter, letting you quickly differentiate them from
normal UUIDs.
echo ConciseUuid::generateNewId(true);
// Output: rEBzkc6s67JU3kI7ZuA7TU
Usage
SQL:
CREATE TABLE my_model (id char(22) primary key);
PHP:
namespace PHPExperts\ConciseUuid\ConciseUuidModel;
class MyModel extends ConciseUuidModel
{
}
For your users table:
namespace PHPExperts\ConciseUuid\ConciseUuidAuthModel;
class User extends ConciseUuidAuthModel
{
}
Installation
Via Composer
$ composer require phpexperts/conciseuuid
Having the GMP extension enabled really improves the execution time of this package.
