TSID – Time-Sorted Unique Identifiers

Latest Version on Packagist Software License Build Status Coverage Status Quality Score Total Downloads

Description

A library for generating Time Sortable Identifiers (TSID).

This library is a port of TSID Creator from Java to PHP.

Requirements

Installation

composer require odan/tsid

Usage

use Odan\Tsid\TsidFactory;

$tsidFactory = new TsidFactory();

$tsid = $tsidFactory->generate();

// 388400145978465528
echo $tsid->toInt();

// 0ARYZVZXW377R
echo $tsid->toString();

Database Usage

MySQL

Use bigint(20) unsigned as datatype for the (primary / secondary) key.

Example:

CREATE TABLE `users` (
    `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
    `username` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
     PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB

Note: When you use BIGINT(20) the maximum value is 2^63 - 1 == 9223372036854775807. This means there is still enough space to store any TSID. When you use BIGINT(20) unsigned the maximum value is: 2^64-1 = 18446744073709551615

SQLite

Use INTEGER as datatype for the (primary / secondary) key.

CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, username TEXT);

Note: SQLite uses an 8-byte signed integer to store integers. So the maximum positive integer value is 2^63 - 1 == 9223372036854775807. This means there is still enough space to store any TSID.
