The expiring token generates a random token of 128 characters with an expiration date.

The token uses base64 but the length is calculated so that it is url safe, so no padding with the = character.

The actual token is generated with [random_bytes](http://php.net/manual/en/function.random-bytes.php) with a length of `32`

## Installation

You can add this library as a local, per-project dependency to your project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

    composer require pageon/expiring-token

## Public api

### ExpiringToken::create

You can create a new token this way. It accepts a [DateInterval](http://php.net/manual/en/class.dateinterval.php) as optional parameter to set a different expiration date.

 

The default expiration date is 3 days.

### ExpiringToken::fromString

Used to create an instance of the token from the string representation

### ExpiringToken::__toString

This turns the class instance into the string version of the token when the instance is used as or cast to a string.

### ExpiringToken::validateAgainst

This can be used to validate the current token against an other token

 

* When the tokens maths this method will return `true`

* An `InvalidToken` exception will be thrown if the tokens don't match

* An `TokenHasExpired` exception will be thrown if the token has expired

### ExpiringToken::hasExpired

Returns a bool indicating if the current token has expired

### ExpiringToken::getExpiresOn

Can be used to get the expiration date of the token
