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 sqids
Sqids PHP
Sqids (pronounced "squids") is a small library that lets you generate unique IDs from numbers. It's good for link shortening, fast & URL-safe ID generation and decoding back into numbers for quicker database lookups.
Features:
- Encode multiple numbers - generate short IDs from one or several non-negative numbers
- Quick decoding - easily decode IDs back into numbers
- Unique IDs - generate unique IDs by shuffling the alphabet once
- ID padding - provide minimum length to make IDs more uniform
- URL safe - auto-generated IDs do not contain common profanity
- Randomized output - Sequential input provides nonconsecutive IDs
- Many implementations - Support for 40+ programming languages
🧰 Use-cases
Good for:
- Generating IDs for public URLs (eg: link shortening)
- Generating IDs for internal systems (eg: event tracking)
- Decoding for quicker database lookups (eg: by primary keys)
Not good for:
- Sensitive data (this is not an encryption library)
- User IDs (can be decoded revealing user count)
🚀 Getting started
Require this package, with Composer, in the root directory of your project.
Then you can import the class into your application:
[!IMPORTANT] Sqids require either the
bcmathorgmpextension in order to work.
👩💻 Examples
Simple encode & decode:
[!NOTE] 🚧 Because of the algorithm's design, multiple IDs can decode back into the same sequence of numbers. If it's important to your design that IDs are canonical, you have to manually re-encode decoded numbers and check that the generated ID matches.
Enforce a minimum length for IDs:
Randomize IDs by providing a custom alphabet:
Prevent specific words from appearing anywhere in the auto-generated IDs:
