Example of how to use hashid

hash_machine.rb

class HashMachine
  ## Source: https://github.com/peterhellberg/hashids.rb
  ## In this example I'm using 11 as the size of the hash. This is the same size youtube uses

  require 'hashids'

  @@my_salt = 'this is my salt'
  @@my_hash_size = 11

  def hashids
    hashids = Hashids.new @@my_salt, @@my_hash_size
  end 

  def encode number
    hashids.encode number
  end 

  def decode hash
    hashids.decode hash
  end 
end

hash_machine = HashMachine.new
hash = hash_machine.encode 12345
p "My hash   is: #{hash}"
p "My number is: #{hash_machine.decode hash}"
