README

A flexible and reliable package for generating unique IDs in Laravel. This package allows developers to generate custom IDs for any database table with options for setting prefixes, custom lengths, and field names.

📦 Features

• ✅ Generate unique IDs for any Eloquent model.
• ✅ Customize ID length and prefix.
• ✅ Prevent duplicate ID generation.
• ✅ Easy-to-use facade for quick integration.
• ✅ Configurable through Laravel's config system.

🚀 Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require devzero2in/laravel-uid-generator

🔧 Configuration

After installation, publish the configuration file (optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

This will create a config/uniqueid.php file where you can set default values:

return [
    'default_length' => 8,   // Default ID length
    'default_prefix' => 'ID-', // Default ID prefix
];

⚙️ Usage

Basic Example

Generate a unique ID with default configuration:

use UniqueIdGenerator;

$id = UniqueIdGenerator::generate(App\Models\User::class);

Custom Length and Prefix

Generate a unique ID with custom length and prefix:

$id = UniqueIdGenerator::generate(App\Models\User::class, 'custom_id', 10, 'USR-');

Saving to a Model

Assign and save the generated ID to a model:

use App\Models\User;
use UniqueIdGenerator;

$user = new User();
$user->custom_id = UniqueIdGenerator::generate(User::class, 'custom_id', 12, 'USR-');
$user->name = 'Jane Doe';
$user->email = 'jane@example.com';
$user->save();

🏗️ Advanced Usage

Override the default field name for checking ID uniqueness:

$id = UniqueIdGenerator::generate(App\Models\Order::class, 'order_number', 6, 'ORD-');

🏛️ Service Provider & Facade Registration

If auto-discovery is disabled, manually register the service provider and alias in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    YourVendor\UniqueIdGenerator\UniqueIdGeneratorServiceProvider::class,
],

'aliases' => [
    'UniqueIdGenerator' => YourVendor\UniqueIdGenerator\Facades\UniqueIdGenerator::class,
],

✅ Testing

Run package tests using PHPUnit:

vendor/bin/phpunit
