A demo to show the usage of hashids in a laravel project

What are hashids

Hahsids are short, unique, non-sequential ids generated from numbers.

Installation

Download this repository and install the required dependencies:

composer install

Prepare the database, to have some demo data to play with:

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed DemoSeeder

Demo

Hit /api/profiles to see a list of user profiles. Note that the IDs are based on hashids. To view a users profile use one of the returned hashids as value for the placeholder in the route api/profiles/{user}

Usage

There's a video about using hashids on the Coder's Cantina Youtube channel
