Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.

Using with Models

The HasShortLink trait automatically creates short links for any Eloquent model with a model prefix + random code format (e.g., post-xyz1, article-abc2).

Basic Usage

How It Works

  1. Extracts model name → Post becomes post
  2. Generates random code → xyz1 (4 characters by default)
  3. Combines them → post-xyz1
  4. Ensures uniqueness → Checks database and regenerates if needed

Key Format

The trait generates keys in format: {model-name}-{random-code}

You can customize the prefix using a database field or method:

Option 1: Database Field

Option 2: Override Method

Priority Order:

  1. Custom field: short_link_prefix
  2. Custom method: getShortLinkPrefix()
  3. Model name: Auto-extracted (default)
