How to use

Run the composer require command from your terminal:

$ composer require hafael/laraflake

Open rootproject/config/app.php and register the required service provider above your application providers.

'providers' => [
    /*
     * Application Service Providers...
     */
    ...
    Hafael\LaraFlake\LaraFlakeServiceProvider::class,
],

Run Artisan command to publish vendor config file in rootproject/config/laraflake.php

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hafael\LaraFlake\LaraFlakeServiceProvider"

Import the LaraFlakeTrait in your model and set $incrementing to false:

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use LaraFlakeTrait;
    protected $table = "users";
    
    /**
     * Indicates if the IDs are auto-incrementing.
     * @var bool
     */
    public $incrementing = false;
    ...

And update the migration files to use BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED:

class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            
            $table->bigInteger('id')->unsigned()->primary();
            
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email')->unique();
            $table->string('password');
            $table->rememberToken();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
    ...
