The goal for this package is:

To provide unique identifiers.
The identifiers will be integer so they can be used as primary keys in relational databases to keep performance.
Do not depend on third services to generate the Ids as happens with workers.
The generated identifier will be 32 bytes.

The current formula is:

UniqueId = php-object-identifier + random-integer + microtime

To this identifier gets repeated it should coincide the object identifier, the microtime, and a 7 number random integer. That is really very improbable but may happen in very rare ocasion.

Example of use:

<?php

use JordiMorillo\Uid\Uid;

class MyProductId extends Uid {}

$myProductId = new MyProductId();

echo "$myProductId"; //This should cast the identifier as a string of numbers

$myProductIdString = $myProductId->toString();

$anotherProductId = new MyProductId($myProductIdString); //This should be a similar equal as $myProductId

jordimorillo / uid
