Dynamically create a hash of an Eloquent model id value to avoid exposing a record's actual database id.

Features

use Netsells\HashModelIds\HashesModelIdsTrait;

class Model extends BaseModel
{
    use HashesModelIdsTrait;
}

Use the HashesModelIdsTrait in an Eloquent model to enable the following functionality:

• Access a model's hashed id value: $model->hashed_id
• Filter a model by an array of or a single hashed id:
  • Model::whereHashedId($hashedId)
  • Model::whereHashedIds($hashedIds)
• Define routes with models bound by their hashed id:

  Route::get('models/{model}', function (Model $model) {
      return $model;
  });
  
  
  $url = url("models/$model->hashed_id");

• Check for model existence in form request classes using a bespoke rule, optionally including additional chained constraints:

  public function rules()
  {
      return [
          'hashed_id' => [
              ExistsWithHashedIdRule::make(Model::class)
                  ->where(function ($query) {
                      $query->where('type', 'test');
                  })
                  ->where('foo', 'bar'),
          ],
      ];
  }

Installation

Install the package with:

composer require netsells/hash-model-ids

Publish the package config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=hash-model-ids-config

Optionally set a HASH_MODEL_IDS_SALT in .env.

Translations

Publish the package translations file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=hash-model-ids-lang

Development

Sometimes, during development, it can be awkward dealing with hashed ids. Set HASH_MODEL_IDS_ENABLED=false in your environment file to enable use of a (configurable) prefixed version of a model's actual id rather than the default hashed version.

Testing

./vendor/bin/phpunit
