Solution

  • It's a little unclear what you're trying to accomplish with this, but here's a stab at it.

    Create a Number model with the following schema:

    Schema::create('numbers', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments('id');
});

    Leverage its auto-increment ID as your unique number. These will be sequential, not random numbers.

    $number = App\Number::create();
$number->id; // a guaranteed unique number
