Collision-resistant ids optimized for horizontal scaling and performance. PHP version.

Cuid for PHP

This library provides a collision resistant id (hashes) for horizontal scaling and sequential lookup performance. This README will only cover basic detail and PHP specific implementation.

Do refer to the original project for the full description of the project.

This is my clone which is PHP 7+ only, for my own purposes, and uses CSPRNG random_int instead of mt_rand See the PHP version of cuid on which this is entirely based.

It's not performant, but is significantly quicker than the original.

Requirement

1. PHP 7 and above

Quickstart

Here's how to use it

Not with packagist as for my own use really.

In composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "adriangreen/cuid": "dev-master"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url":  "https://github.com/adrian-green/cuid.git"
        }
    ]
}

// Include composer autoloader
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Create a cuid instance
$cuid = new AdrianGreen\Cuid;

// Generate normal cuid
$normalCuid = $cuid->cuid(); // ci27flk5w0002adx5dhyvzye2

// Generate short cuid
$shortCuid = $cuid->slug(); // 6503a5k0

// You can also generate cuid using static method
$normalCuid = Cuid::cuid();
$shortCuid = Cuid::slug();

// There is also an alias method for better readability
$normalCuid = Cuid::make();
