Token

Manages random tokens for password resets and other one-time actions

Installation

• Install via composer: composer require infinety-es/token

• Add services provider to config/app.php:

  • Infinety\Token\TokenServiceProvider::class,

• Run php artisan token:migration then php artisan migrate to add the Token database table

Usage

• Tokens are handled via Infinety\Token\Token, which can be instantiated by the container. Example:

  $token = new Token;
  $token->add($myId, 'test', 1)

• Token parameters:
  • Reference: integer ID of the object referred to by the token, e.g. User ID
  • Type: string determining the type of the token
  • Expires: integer determining how many minutes the token will remain valid for, null (forever) is default
• Token::new(int $ref, string $type, int $expires = null) returns a hasID 40-character code
• Token::find(string $code, string $type, bool $$returnRef = true) returns the reference ID or null if $returnId is = true, or Hashids decoded strings
• Token::remove(string $code, string $type) deletes the token associated with the code (if found)
