urlShortener
============

[](#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.

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

[](#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'
