Redirecting users
First off, the redirection route expect a shortlink parameter, make sure to name it like that. Later, you can redirect the user to the expected target by returning Laravel's redirect response and giving the returning value of the target method as an argument. The target method also receives the \Illuminate\Http\Request instance.
Logging redirected clients
You may want to track some statistics with your shortened URL's. At the moment you can track their user agent, their IP Address and the timestamps. You can decide what to do with that info.
To achieve this, call the log method before the target one in your redirect response. Give the `\Illuminate\Http\Request as the argument and now you can leave the target argument blank.

Default redirect
If the code given as argument is invalid, the redirect method will redirect the user to a default route. Change this from the config file.
1) Go to the config file located on config/cedaesca/URLShortener.php
2) Change the default_redirect value for that of your preference.
