README

This package implements a URL shortener in your Laravel project, using a migration and two access routes. It also comes with a configuration file to adjust what you consider necessary.

Installation

Use composer to install the package.

composer require mlopez/url-shortener

Optionally, you can publish the configuration file and the migration.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=url-shortener-migrations

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=url-shortener-config

After composer installs the package, run the following command to run the migration and register the routes.

php artisan url-shortene:install

Test

public function test_url_shortener()
{
    $this->post(route('links.store'), [
        'long_url' => 'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-a-url-in-different-browsers'
    ]);

    $this->assertDatabaseHas(config('urlshortener.table'), [
        'long_url' => 'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-a-url-in-different-browsers'
