This is where your description should go. Limit it to a paragraph or two. Consider adding a small example.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require marjose/UrlShortener
```

You can publish and run the migrations with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Marjose\UrlShortener\UrlShortenerServiceProvider" --tag="UrlShortener-migrations"
php artisan migrate
```

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Marjose\UrlShortener\UrlShortenerServiceProvider" --tag="UrlShortener-config"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
    'length' => 6, // Length of the string for shortening the URL
    'expiration' => 120, // minutes, 0 for no expiration
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Generating the URL by using the default setting from the Config file.

```
use Marjose\UrlShortener\Facades\UrlShortener;
$response = UrlShortener::url('https://xxxx.xx/xxxx')->generate();
```

Generating the URL by adding expiration to the link.

```
use Marjose\UrlShortener\Facades\UrlShortener;
$response = UrlShortener::url('https://xxxx.xx/xxxx')->setExpiration(15)->generate();
```

Generating the URL by overriding the default setting from the Config file.

```
use Marjose\UrlShortener\Facades\UrlShortener;
$response = UrlShortener::url('https://xxxx.xx/xxxx')->setLength(5)->setExpiration(15)->generate();
```

Validate if the shorted URL is expired or not

```
use Marjose\UrlShortener\Facades\UrlShortener;
$response = UrlShortener::url('https://xxxx.xx/xxxx')->isExpired();

// This will return boolean or an exception if the supplied url is not found in the database
```

In your web.php route you can add a new route similar to this, so that you can capture and redirect to the original link once the like is validated by your controller.

```
Route::get('s/{url_key}',[YourControllerHere::class, 'YourControllerMethod']);
```

Testing
