Step 1: Create Project
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-appStep 2: Create Table
php artisan make:migration create_short_links_table<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateShortLinksTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('short_links', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('code');
$table->string('link');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('short_links');
}
}php artisan migrateStep 3: php artisan make:model ShortLink
app/ShortLink.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class ShortLink extends Model
{
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'code', 'link'
];
}Step 4: Create Route
Route::get('/{code}',[App\Http\Controllers\ShortLinkController::class, 'shortenLink'])->name('shorten.link');
Route::post('/generate-shorten-link',[App\Http\Controllers\ShortLinkController::class, 'store'])->name('generate.shorten.link.post');
Route::get('/',[App\Http\Controllers\ShortLinkController::class, 'index'])->name('home');Step 5: Create Controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\ShortLink;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
class ShortLinkController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
$shortLinks = ShortLink::all();
return view('shortenLink', compact('shortLinks'));
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'link' => 'required|url'
]);
$input['link'] = $request->link;
$input['code'] = Str::random(6);
ShortLink::create($input);
return redirect()->route('home')->with('success', 'Shorten Link Generated Successfully!');
}
public function shortenLink($code)
{
$find = ShortLink::where('code', $code)->first();
if ($find) {
return redirect($find->link);
} else {
return redirect()->route('home')->with('error', 'Short Link Not Found'); // Redirect to the home page with an error message
}
}
}Step 6: Create View
