Package for Shortening URL and Expanding URL with Google. This is a great combination if you plan to send Links in your Text Messages fired from your Application.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require tzsk/shorten-url
```

Configure
---------

[](#configure)

First add the Service Provider and Facade in your app config file.

```
'providers' => [
    ...
    Tzsk\ShortenUrl\Provider\ShortenUrlServiceProvider::class,
    ...
]
...
'aliases' => [
    ...
    'GoogleUrl' => Tzsk\ShortenUrl\Facade\GoogleUrl::class,
    ...
]
```

After that run `vendor:publish` with flag `config`:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config
```

Once you do that you will have a new file in your config folder. `config/url.php`

There is only one criteria. Google API key for Shortening URL. Just login with google account and go to \[\]

Now create a new Application there. And `Enable API` for URL Shortening. And generate `API Key` to use in `Credentials` section.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
# Use Class Path at the top of the File.
use Tzsk\ShortenUrl\Facade\GoogleUrl;

# Inside your Controller Method for Shortening.

$short = GoogleUrl::shorten("LONG URL"); # Returns String.
# OR...
$short_data = GoogleUrl::extended()->shorten("LONG URL");
/**
* For extended it will give the full response that google provides.
*/

# Inside your Controller Method for Expanding.
$long = GoogleUrl::expand("SHORT URL"); # Returns String.
# OR...
$long_data = GoogleUrl::extended()->expand("SHORT URL");
/**
* For extended it will give the full response that google provides.
