urlShortener

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.

Use composer to install the package.

composer require mlopez/url-shortener

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

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

php artisan url-shortene:install

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