Laravel FakeID

Tests Latest Stable Version Total Downloads License

Enables automatic Eloquent model ID obfuscation in routes using Optimus.

Installation

  1. Run the Composer require command to install the package

    composer require propaganistas/laravel-fakeid
  2. The package will automatically register itself.

  3. Run the following artisan command to auto-initialize the package's settings

    php artisan fakeid:setup

Usage

Simply import the RoutesWithFakeIds trait into your model:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Propaganistas\LaravelFakeId\RoutesWithFakeIds;

class MyModel extends Model
{
    use RoutesWithFakeIds;
}

All routes generated for this particular model will expose a fake ID instead of the raw primary key. Moreover incoming requests containing those fake IDs are automatically converted back to a real ID. The obfuscation layer is therefore transparent and doesn't require you to rethink everything. Just use Laravel as you normally would.

Example

Assuming an Article model having a named show route.

routes/web.php:

Route::get('articles/{article}', 'ArticleController@show')->name('articles.show');

app/Article.php

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Propaganistas\LaravelFakeId\RoutesWithFakeIds;

class Article extends Model
{
    use RoutesWithFakeIds;
}

A route to this specific endpoint can now be generated using Laravel's route() helper, and it will automatically contain a fake ID:

<a href="{{ route('articles.show', $article) }}"> {{ $article->name }} </a>
