Or

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

• Laravel 9.0, 10.0, or 11.0

Optional

Publish the configuration and the view.

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

Optionally, register for URLVisit events in your EventServiceProvider.

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

Configuration

See config/urlshortener.php

Docker

Build and start the docker container.

docker-compose build
