SafeLink
========

[](#safelink)

[![Unit Tests](https://github.com/ozanhazer/safelink/actions/workflows/php.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ozanhazer/safelink/actions/workflows/php.yml/badge.svg)

Framework-agnostic, lightweight URL signer. You can use SafeLink to transfer data between projects.

Sign the url in project 1:

```
use Alfatron\SafeLink;

$safelink = new SafeLink('my-not-short-private-key');
$safelink->redirect('https://second-project/path', ['user' => 'test@example.com', 'action' => 'feed the cat'])
```

Retrieve it in project 2:

```
use Alfatron\SafeLink;

$safelink = new SafeLink('my-not-short-private-key');
$data = $safeLink->verify();
assert($data['user'], 'test@example.com');
```

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Uses built-in php serializer to serialize the data to be transferred.
- Can transfer any php type that can be serialized: `object`, `array`, `string`, `integer`.
- Supports php 7.0+.
- Has a default timeout of 10sec.s (customizable).
- Uses `openssl` extension to encrypt the data (`AES-256 CBC`)

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

[](#installation)

Run `composer require ozanhazer/safe-link` and you're good to go!

Options
-------

[](#options)

Timeout is 10sec.s by default to avoid replay attacks. You can change it like:

```
use Alfatron\SafeLink;

$safeLink = new SafeLink($privateKey, ['timeout' => 2]);
```
