Snowflake ID Generator

An implementation of Snowflake ID generator that works without a dedicated daemon.

The generator can be used with PHP-FPM or mod_php.

Installation

Usage

// First we need to create a store for saving the state
$store = new Snowflake\Store\RedisStore(new \Redis);
// $store = new Snowflake\Store\FileStore('/path/to/store/state');

// Create a generator with the created store
$generator = new Snowflake\Generator($store, $instanceId = 0);

// Use Generator::nextId to generate the next unique id
echo $generator->nextId();
