A minimal Laravel package for shortening URLs. Apart for creating short URLs - like bitly - it also supported updating URL redirects and tracking URL clicks.

Laravel URL Shortener
=====================

[](#laravel-url-shortener)

Install the package. It supports Laravel 5.5 and up (including 7.0 and up).

```
composer require arietimmerman/laravel-url-shortener
php artisan migrate

```

And start shortening URLs

```
(string)URLShortener::shorten("http://www.example.com");
```

Or

```
php artisan url:shorten http://www.example.com
```

Usage for Laravel < 5.5
--------------------------

[](#usage-for-laravel--55)

Add the *service provider* in your `config/app.php`.

```
'providers' => [ /* [..] */ \ArieTimmerman\Laravel\URLShortener\ServiceProvider::class /* [..] */ ];
```

Optional
--------

[](#optional)

Publish the configuration and the view.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ArieTimmerman\Laravel\URLShortener\ServiceProvider"
```

Optionally, register for URLVisit events in your `EventServiceProvider`.

```
protected $listen = [
	'ArieTimmerman\Laravel\URLShortener\Events\URLVisit' => [
		'App\Listener\YourListener',
	]
];
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

See `config/urlshortener.php`

Docker
------

[](#docker)

Build and start the docker container.

```
docker-compose build
docker-compose up

```

Now shorten an URL like this

```
docker-compose exec laravel-url-shortener php artisan url:shorten https://www.example.com

```

Check out the redirect

```
curl -v http://localhost:18123/code

```
