The interest of public IDs is to keep a whole and incremental ID, while having a UUID to expose to the front end, which can be convenient for security reasons.
This package offers two features:
- Allow models to manage a public ID
- Allow FormRequest to easily convert public IDs to IDs
You can install the package via composer:
composer require yieldstudio/eloquent-public-id
This Trait will enable your Model to have benefit of all the actions needed to process the public id.
Once package installed, Add a public id field into your table
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
// ..
$table->uuid('public_id')->index()->unique();
// ..
});
Next step, use the HasPublicId trait into your Model
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use YieldStudio\EloquentPublicId\HasPublicId;
class User extends Model
{
use HasPublicId;
}
It's ready to work :)
⚠️ By default the trait will mark the ID field as a hidden field and guard the public ID.
The Trait adds some methods to your Model, here they are:
Name | Description |
---|---|
wherePublicId(string $publicId) | A new scope to find with a public ID |
findByPublicId(string $publicId, array $columns = ['*']) | A new static method to get a model by their public ID |
getPublicIdName() | Returns the public ID column name |
getPublicId() | Returns the public ID of the model |
If in your migration you have chosen another field name instead of public_id, you have to specify this field using the getPublicIdName
function.
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use YieldStudio\EloquentPublicId\HasPublicId;
class User extends Model
{
use HasPublicId;
public function getPublicIdName(): string
{
return 'uuid';
}
}
The public id is automatically generated once your Model is created in the database.
If you want to modify the value of the generation of this field, you must add the generatePublicId
function to your Model
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use YieldStudio\EloquentPublicId\HasPublicId;
class User extends Model
{
use HasPublicId;
public function generatePublicId(): string
{
return Str::random();
}
}
Allowing to convert public IDs to IDs in a FormRequest (before validation).
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use YieldStudio\EloquentPublicId\ConvertPublicId;
class CreatePostRequest extends FormRequest
{
use ConvertPublicId;
protected array $publicIdsToConvert = [
'category_id' => Category::class,
'tags.*' => Tag::class,
'postable_id' => 'postable_type', // You can reference another field as model class in case of morph relationship
'suggestions' => [ // Nesting fields is allowed
'*' => [
'post_id' => Post::class,
'tags.*' => Tag::class,
'postable_id' => 'postable_type',
]
]
];
To run the tests, just run composer install
and composer test
.
