## Configuration

`rails generate active_uxid:install` will generate the following file:
`../config/initalizers/active_uxid.rb`

```ruby
ActiveUxid::Settings.configure do |config|
  config.encoding_chars = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
  config.encoding_length = 26
  config.encoding_salt = 1369136
end
```

## Hash
```ruby
# Hash ID's are reversible but less performant
# than ULID

ActiveUxid::Hash.encode(10)         #=> 'q5D8inm0'
ActiveUxid::Hash.decode('q5D8inm0') #=> 10
```

## Ulid
```ruby
# ULID are secure as they are not reversible
# They are also more performant than Hash ID's

ActiveUxid::Ulid.encode #=> '1mqfg9qa96s8s5f02o1ucf8lcc'
```

## ActiveRecord
```ruby
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Add a uxid binary attribute to the corresponding table.

  include ActiveUxid::Record::Hash
  # Or
  include ActiveUxid::Record::Ulid
end

# Hash UXid's type only
User.find_by_uxid('x123') #=> find record by uxid

user = User.new
user.uxid_to_id          #=> decodes the records uxid to id
```
