Usage

Building Short Urls

/**
* Basic
 */
$url = UrlService::shorten('something-extremely-long.com/even/longer?ref=with&some=thingelselonger')
        ->build(); 
// http(s)://host/prefix/identifier;

/**
* Advanced
 */
$url = UrlService::shorten('something-extremely-long.com/even/longer?ref=with&some=thingelselonger')
        ->withActivation(Carbon::now()->addHour()->timestamp)
        ->withExpiration(Carbon::now()->addDay()->timestamp)
        ->withOpenLimit(2)
        ->withOwnership(Model::find(1))
        ->withPassword('password')
        ->build();
// http(s)://host/prefix/identifier;

Finding Existing Short Urls

/**
 * Find a Short URL by its identifier 
 */
$shortUrl = UrlService::findByIdentifier('identifier');

/**
 * Find a Short URL by its hashed signature
 */
$shortUrl = UrlService::findByHash(md5('long_url'));

/**
 * Find a Short URL by its plain text long url string 
 */
$shortUrl = UrlService::findByPlainText('long_url');

/**
 * Will return an instance of Models/ShortUrl or throw UrlRepository('Unable to locate Short URL')
 */

Getting Click Information

$clicks = ClickService::get()->toArray();

dd($clicks);
[
    'results' => [
        [
            'id' => ...,
            'created_at' => ...,
            'short_url' => [
                'id' => ...,
                'identifier' => ...,
                'hashed' => ...,
                'plain_text' => ...,
                'limit' => ...,
                'created_at' => ...,
                'updated_at' =>> ...
            ],
            'location' => [
                'id' => ...,
                'ip' => ...,
                'countryName' => ...,
                'countryCode' => ...,
                'regionCode' => ...,
                'regionName' => ...,
                'cityName' => ...,
                'zipCode' => ...,
                'isoCode' => ...,
                'postalCode' => ...,
                'latitude' => ...,
                'longitude' => ...,
                'metroCode' => ...,
                'areaCode' => ...,
                'timezone' => ...,
                'created_at' => ...,
                'updated_at' => ...
            ],
            'outcome' => [
                'id' => ...,
                'name' => ...,
                'alias' => ...,
            ]
        ]  
    ],
    'total' => 1
];

Getting Click Information and Filtering on Ownership

$clicks = ClickService::get([
    'ownership' =>  [
        Model::find(1),
        Model::find(2)
    ]        
]);

Filter on Outcome

$clicks = ClickService::get([
    'outcome' => [
        1, // successful_routed
        2, // successful_protected
        3, // failure_password
        4, // failure_expiration
        5  // failure_limit
    ]        
]);

Filter on the Click's YorShortUrl Status

$clicks = ClickService::get([
    'status' => [
        'active',
        'expired',
        'expiring' // within 30 minutes of expiring
    ]        
]);

Filtered on YorShortUrl Identifier(s)

$clicks = ClickService::get([
    'identifier' => [
         'xyz',
         'yxz'
    ]
]);

Iterate Through Results With Batches

$clicks = ClickService::get([
    'limit' => 500
    'offset' => 1500
]); 
  
$clicks->get('results');
$clicks->get('total');

Putting it all Together

/**
 * Get the successfully routed clicks for all active short urls that are owned by Model IDs 1,2,3 and 4.
 * Set the offset of results by 1500 clicks and limit by the results by 500.
 */
$clicks = ClickService::get([
    'ownership' => Model::whereIn('id', [1,2,3,4])->get()->toArray(),
    'outcome' => [
        3 // successful_routed
    ],
    'status' => [
        'active'
    ],       
    'limit' => 500
    'offset' => 1500
]);
