Hashids Component for CakePHP

cakephp-hashids

Hashids Component for CakePHP 2.x

Usage

First, get Hashids.php and HashGenerator.php from http://www.hashids.org/php/ and put them in your app's Vendor/Hashids folder.

Then put HashidsComponent.php to your app's Controller/Component folder.

And lastly, add this to your AppController.php:

public $components = array (
	// ...
	'Hashids' => array (
		'salt' => 'YOUR_SALT_HERE', // Required
		'min_hash_length' => 0, // Optional
		'alphabet' => '', // Optional
	)
);

###Encoding

Use in your Controllers like this:

$encoded = $this->Hashids->encode(1, 2, 3);

Or in your Components, Views or anywhere else:

$encoded = HashidsComponent::encode(1, 2, 3);

###Decoding

By default, this component retruns the first element of the resulting decode:

$this->Hashids->decode($encoded); // --> 1

If you wish to get an array instead, set the second parameter to true, like this:

$this->Hashids->decode($encoded, true); // --> array(1, 2, 3);

Update

Since v1.0.0, several public functions of Hashids were renamed to be more appropriate:

• Function encrypt() changed to encode()
• Function decrypt() changed to decode()
• Function encrypt_hex() changed to encode_hex()
• Function decrypt_hex() changed to decode_hex()

The component's method names were also changed to maintain consistency.
