FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package shortid-php
ShortId
This library is an implementation of ShortId for PHP.
Installation
Install the library via Composer:
Usage
ShortId is a PHP library that generates short, unique, and random strings. It's useful in scenarios where you need concise identifiers, such as URL shortening or generating unique keys.
Basic usage
Just call PUGX\Shortid\Shortid::generate() to get a random string with default length 7, like "MfiYIvI".
Advanced usage
For more control, you can customize the alphabet and length using the Factory class.
The default alphabet uses all letters (lowercase and uppercase), all numbers, underscore, and hyphen.
As an alternative, you can customize single generations:
More readable strings
Sometimes, you want to avoid some ambiguous characters, like B/8 or I/l (uppercase/lowercase).
In this case, you can pass a third parameter true to the generate method. Notice that in this case the alphabet
will be ignored, so it makes sense to pass a null one.
Example:
Pre-defined values
If you need a deterministic string, instead of a random one, you can call directly the class constructor. This could be useful, for instance, when you need pre-defined data for testing purposes.
Doctrine
If you want to use ShortId with Doctrine ORM, take a look at ShortId Doctrine type.
Doctrine and Symfony
If you want to use ShortId with Doctrine ORM and Symfony framework, take a look to ShortId Doctrine type bundle.
Dependencies replacement
This library uses a polyfill, so it can be used in environments where the mbstring native extension is not available.
If, instead, your environment is offering that extension, you can avoid installing
that polyfill by configuring a replace entry in your composer.json.
The same applies to the randomLib library: if you are using PHP 8.3 or higher,
you can replace it, since this library uses the native Random class instead.
