Now maintained by Zack Kitzmiller.

Installation

Install via Composer

{
    "require": {
        "zackkitzmiller/tiny": "1.1.0"
    },
}

Usage

$tiny = new \ZackKitzmiller\Tiny('5SX0TEjkR1mLOw8Gvq2VyJxIFhgCAYidrclDWaM3so9bfzZpuUenKtP74QNH6B');

echo $tiny->to(5);
// E

echo $tiny->from('E');
// 5

Configuration

You must instanciate a new instance of Tiny with a random alpha-numeric set where each character must only be used exactly once. Do NOT change this once you start using Tiny, as you won't be able to reverse.

Using laravel?

If you're using laravel and want to use a more laravel-like and cleaner syntax you only have to follow these steps.

First open your app/config/app.php file and scroll down to your providers and add

'providers' => array(
    ...
    'ZackKitzmiller\TinyServiceProvider',
)

and then this to aliases

'aliases' => array(
    ...
    'Tiny' => 'ZackKitzmiller\Facades\Tiny',
)

Lastly you run php artisan config:publish zackkitzmiller/tiny to publish the configuration file and then run php artisan tiny:generate to create a valid key.

Usage in Laravel

echo Tiny::to(5);
// echos E

echo Tiny::from('E');
// echos 5
