Installation

Simple Encode & Decode

The Sqids service allows you to convert integers into short, URL-safe strings and decode them back.

[!IMPORTANT] Sqids require either the bcmath or gmp extension in order to work.

Usage

Encode and Decode Single Integer

Decode and get a Laravel Collection

Notes:

• encode always expects an array of integers.

• decode returns an array.

• encodeInteger / decodeInteger work with single integers.

• decodeCollect returns a Collection for easier chaining with Laravel collections.

Configuration

Laravel Sqids allows you to customize its behavior via a configuration file. Publishing the configuration lets you modify settings such as the alphabet, minimum length, and blocklist.

Publish the Config File

Use the following Artisan command to publish the configuration to your application:

Here are each of the drivers setup for your application. Example configuration has been included, but you may add as many drivers as you would like.

Laravel Sqids allows you to publish the configuration and define multiple drivers, each with its own settings.

Driver Setup

The configuration file includes a drivers array. You can configure one or more drivers for different encoding strategies.

You can add additional drivers with their own configuration:

Then, you can use a specific driver when encoding/decoding:

Once a driver has been registered and configured in your config/sqids.php, you can access it directly using a camelCase method on the Sqids Facade.

Check if an Encoded String is Valid

Sqids Custom Validation Rule

Laravel Sqids provides a custom validation rule to ensure that a given input is a valid Sqid string. You can use it in form requests, inline validation, and with custom drivers.
