Looking for a new maintainer. If no maintainer is found by December 2025, this repository will be deleted.
Use hashids instead.
Laravel FakeID
Enables automatic Eloquent model ID obfuscation in routes using Optimus.
Installation
-
Run the Composer require command to install the package
composer require propaganistas/laravel-fakeid
-
The package will automatically register itself.
-
Run the following artisan command to auto-initialize the package's settings
php artisan fakeid:setup
Usage
Simply import the RoutesWithFakeIds
trait into your model:
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Propaganistas\LaravelFakeId\RoutesWithFakeIds; class MyModel extends Model { use RoutesWithFakeIds; }
All routes generated for this particular model will expose a fake ID instead of the raw primary key. Moreover incoming requests containing those fake IDs are automatically converted back to a real ID. The obfuscation layer is therefore transparent and doesn't require you to rethink everything. Just use Laravel as you normally would.
Example
Assuming an Article
model having a named show
route.
routes/web.php
:
Route::get('articles/{article}', 'ArticleController@show')->name('articles.show');
app/Article.php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Propaganistas\LaravelFakeId\RoutesWithFakeIds; class Article extends Model { use RoutesWithFakeIds; }
A route to this specific endpoint can now be generated using Laravel's route()
helper, and it will automatically contain a fake ID:
<a href="{{ route('articles.show', $article) }}"> {{ $article->name }} </a>
