Package to generate unique values

This package generates persistent unique values with support for concurrency utilizing scoped cache locking. It stores generated unique values in the database.

Generated values are unique per scope and can be generated using a callback method. This package only supports strings.

Features

• Generate unique values
• Support for concurrency
• Customizable generator
• Maximum attempts
• Support for subjects

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require justbetter/laravel-unique-values

Usage

use JustBetter\UniqueValues\Support\UniqueValue;

$uniqueValue = UniqueValue::make()
    ->scope('unique-scope')
    ->generator(function (int $attempt): string {
        return match ($attempt) {
            0 => 'unique-value',
            default => 'unique-value-'.$attempt,
        };
    })->generate();

Output after first run: unique-value. Output after second run: unique-value-1. Output after third run: unique-value-2.

Maximum attempts

You can configure the maximum attempts, this is three by default. If the maximum attempts are reached an exception is thrown.

use JustBetter\UniqueValues\Support\UniqueValue;

$uniqueValue = UniqueValue::make()
    ->scope('unique-scope')
    ->attempts(2)
    ->generator(function (int $attempt): string {
        return match ($attempt) {
            0 => 'unique-value',
            default => 'unique-value-'.$attempt,
        };
    })->generate();

Subject

You can add a subject to retrieve a previously generated value for the subject. Optionally you can add an override flag to run the generation again for the subject.

use JustBetter\UniqueValues\Support\UniqueValue;

$uniqueValue = UniqueValue::make()
    ->scope('unique-scope')
    ->subject('subject')
    ->generator(function (int $attempt): string {
        return match ($attempt) {
            0 => 'unique-value',
            default => 'unique-value-'.$attempt,
        };
    })->generate();

First run will output: unique-value. Second run will output: unique-value. Only one unique value will be stored in the database.
