README

Provides unique code for your Eloquent models

INSTALLATION

composer require monurakkaya/laravel-unique-code-generator

USAGE

The schema

To create the column

// This will generate an unique string column named `code` 255 length which equivalent to $table->string('code', 255)->unique();
Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    ...
    $table->uniqueCode();
});

To drop the column

Schema::table('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->dropUniqueCode();
});

To use your own column just pass the parameters to override the default values

// on create
$table->uniqueCode('my_code', 'bigInteger', 32); // columnName, columnType, columnLength

// on drop
$table->dropUniqueCode('my_code');

Using schema helper is optional. You can go on with your own definitions.

The model

Your model should use Monurakkaya\Lucg\HasUniqueCode trait to enable unique code functions:

use Monurakkaya\Lucg\HasUniqueCode;

class Foo extends Model {
    use HasUniqueCode;
}

and that's all.

$foo = Foo::create(['title' => 'Foo']);
#attributes: array:10 [▼
    "id" => 1
    "code" => "OF0EIL8B"
    "title" => "Foo"
    "created_at" => "2022-01-24 13:11:03"
    "updated_at" => "2022-01-24 13:11:03"
  ]

SETTINGS

To change the column name just override the uniqueCodeColumnName method on your model

class Foo extends Model {
    use HasUniqueCode;
    
    protected static function uniqueCodeColumnName()
    {
        return 'my_code';
    }
}

** Make sure your code column name to be equal to your column name. Default is code

To change the code type just override the uniqueCodeType method on your model

class Foo extends Model {
    use HasUniqueCode;
    
    protected static function uniqueCodeType()
    {
        return 'numeric';
    }
}

Available types are 'random_uppercase', 'random_lowercase', 'uuid', 'numeric'. Default is random_uppercase

** If you are going to use uuid, I recommend you to set column definition as uuid

To change the code length just override the uniqueCodeLength method on your model

class Foo extends Model {
    use HasUniqueCode;
    
    protected static function uniqueCodeLength()
    {
        return 32;
    }
}

** Make sure your code length lte than column length. Default is 8
