Laravel ID Generator

A Laravel package for generating custom auto-incrementing IDs with prefixes, suffixes, and date-based placeholders.

🚀 Features

• Auto-increment ID generation for any column.
• Allow custom prefixes & suffixes & padding
• Supports {DATE}, {MONTH}, and {YEAR} placeholders.

📥 Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require omaressaouaf/laravel-id-generator

📌 Usage

Basic Example

Generate an ID with a prefix and suffix and padding:

use Omaressaouaf\LaravelIdGenerator\IdGenerator;
use App\Models\User;

$id = IdGenerator::generate(Invoice::class, 'column_name', 5, 'INV-', '-2024');

echo $id; // INV-00001-2024

Dynamic Placeholders

• {DATE} → 2025-02-28
• {MONTH} → 2025-02
• {YEAR} → 2025

$id = IdGenerator::generate(Invoice::class, 'column_name', 5, 'INV-{YEAR}-');
echo $id; // INV-2025-00001

Initial starting point

Start from a specific number if there is no ID found in DB

$id = IdGenerator::generate(Invoice::class, 'column_name', 5, 'INV-', '', 5);
echo $id; // INV-2025-00005

Generators

After installation, you can publish the package configuration file using:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Omaressaouaf\LaravelIdGenerator\LaravelIdGeneratorServiceProvider"

This will create a configuration file in config/laravel-id-generator.php, allowing you define custom generators for different tables or models.

return [
    Invoice::class => [
        'field' => 'number',
        'padding' => 5,
        'prefix' => 'INV-',
        'suffix' => '-{YEAR}',
        'initial-starting-point' => 1
    ],
    'receipts' => [
        'field' => 'number',
        'padding' => 3,
        'prefix' => 'RC-',
    ]
];

Then you can use the generator

$id = IdGenerator::generateFromConfig(Invoice::class);
echo $id; // INV-00001-2025
