Uka-url URL Shortener
=====================

[](#uka-url-url-shortener)

Built with [Lumen 8.x](https://lumen.laravel.com), [Bootstrap v5](https://getbootstrap.com/) and [jQuery-3.5.1](https://jquery.com/)

[See the DEMO](http://url.ukadev.com) or [just go down to the screenshot](#screenshot)

Prerequisites
-------------

[](#prerequisites)

To make the application working you are going to need:

> - LAMP environment or equivalent with mod\_rewrite enabled
> - composer

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

[](#installation)

Follow the next instructions:

> - Open console/terminal and run:
>     `git clone https://github.com/ukadev/uka-url.git`

> - Enter into the cloned folder and run:
>     `composer install`

> - Open the file .env in the application root directory (if doesn't exist, copy it from .env.example) and modify the following variables with your database connection details:
>     `DB_CONNECTION=mysql`
>     `DB_HOST=127.0.0.1`
>     `DB_PORT=3306`
>     `DB_DATABASE=homestead`
>     `DB_USERNAME=homestead`
>     `DB_PASSWORD=secret`

> - After configure the database variables, execute the command from the root of the application:
>     `php artisan migrate`

> - Set up your virtual host to point to the folder called `public` as the website root folder. You can use the next example if you want it (may require modifications):

```

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/public

                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride all
                Order Deny,Allow
                Allow from all
                Require all granted

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

```

### Extra notes

[](#extra-notes)

> - If you want to add a value to the KEY variable of the .env file, you can execute the following command in the console/terminal and paste it there:
>     `php -r "echo md5(uniqid()).\"\n\";"`
