Yii2 url shortener.
===================

[](#yii2-url-shortener)

```
Do not get fooled by the age of changes made to library. It works like the first day, and that is why it has not been updated

```

Make short links within your own yii2 application. Can even define an expiration date for a shortened url. See this readme file to learn how.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the module to your config file:

**First:** Run the migration included in @vendor/eseperio/yii2-url-shortener/src/migrations.

```
  //...

'modules' => [
     'shortener' => [
            'class' => \eseperio\shortener\ShortenerModule::class
        ]
  ]

  //...
```

Add the bootstrap class to your bootstrap configuration.

```
'basePath' => dirname(__DIR__),
    'bootstrap' => [
        'log',
        \eseperio\shortener\Bootstrap::class,
    ],

    'aliases' => [
    //...
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Making a short link

```
Yii::$app->getModule('shortener')->short('http://original.url/goes/here')

// An array can be provided too.

Yii::$app->getModule('shortener')->short(['controller/action','param' => 'value'])
```

A lifetime can be established. Link will stop working since that date.

```
Yii::$app->getModule('shortener')->short($url, 3600)
```

Expanding a link

```
Yii::$app->getModule('shortener')->expand('link id')
```

Redirection
-----------

[](#redirection)

Module includes a controller to handle redirections. The only thing you need, to make it work, it is create a link to your app domain, followed by the short id of url.
