Motivated by Jeffrey Way's tweet from today ( https://twitter.com/jeffrey_way/status/515508990751817729 ) I dare to post the following question ;) Bare in mind that I'm a beginner and not yet really familiar withs concepts and terms - but eager to learn!

I added the/a Hashids package to my project https://github.com/alexsoft/L4-Hashids and using it with its facade capability, so for example Hashids::encode($foo). I learned two things:

• The longer the integer being encoded is, the longer the hashid will be. One does really need long numbers for this to notice, but still
• Visiting vendor/alexsoft/hashid/laravel-hashids/src shows me that the package binds hashids to the IoC container (as far as I understand)

$this->app->bind('hashids', function($app) {
			return new Hashids(
				$app['config']['app.key'],
				$app['config']['laravel-hashids::length'],
				$app['config']['laravel-hashids::alphabet']
			);
		});

My question: when I want to set default values, let's say for the length of the hashid, can I do this AND using Hashids facade? If so, where? There is a config.php in the vendors folder nearby the src folder but I understand that I'm not supposed to change anything in there. Also, adding for example 'laravel-hashids::length' => 8 to /app/config/app.php (my first reflex since the array is named $app['config']) didn't work.

Thanks in advance!
