• Provides a bean for Hashids from https://github.com/10cella/hashids-java
• Allows customizing the properties of Hashids via Spring properties (hashids.salt, hashids.min-hash-length and hashids.alphabet)
• Automatically decodes Spring request parameters
• Automatically encodes/decodes values with jackson

This library is available Maven Central. If using Maven, add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>systems.fehn</groupId>
  <artifactId>hashids-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
  <version>${version}</version>
</dependency>

If using Gradle, add the following dependency:

implementation 'systems.fehn:hashids-spring-boot-starter:${version}'

If using Gradle with the Kotlin DSL, add the following dependency:

implementation("systems.fehn:hashids-spring-boot-starter:${version}")

Customize how the hashids object is created by using the Spring properties:

• hashids.salt
• hashids.min-hash-length
• hashids.alphabet

@Autowire an org.hashids.Hashids bean into your Spring components. E.g.:

@Controller
public class UserController {
    private final Hashids hashids;

    public UserController(final Hashids hashids) {
        this.hashids = hashids;
    }
}

Alternatively, you can annotate fields in your models with @systems.fehn.boot.starter.hashids.Hashids:

public class UserModel {
    @Hashids
    public long id;
    public String name;
}

Now the user's id will be automatically encoded and decoded with the Hashids bean.

@Hashids can be applied to types int, Integer, long, Long and arrays of these types.

You can customize all settings for each annotation (they are optional and default to the value of the corresponding property):

public class UserModel {
    @Hashids(salt = "abc", minHashLength = 8, alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")
    public long id;
    public String name;
}

Request parameters of controller methods can be annotated in the same fashion.
