Getting Started

This can be used to host several link if you already have a Jigsaw powered site. Let's say you have various social links and you want a easy way to share all of those. Rather than remember all the different username and url patterns or these different website, you can now have a consistent format.

For example, you have a twitter, linkedin and facebook page. Each of them has different url pattern, but now you can use a common pattern. For instance, if my website's url is http://milon.im, now I can have http://milon.im/twitter, http://milon.im/facebook and http://milon.im/linkedin and these will redirect to the origin website.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1 or higher
• Jigsaw 1.7 or higher

Installation

composer require milon/jigsaw-url-shortener

Setup and Usage

First you need to create a new entry in config file named urlRedirects.

[
    ...,
    'urlRedirects' => [
        [
            'filename' => 'twitter',
            'url' => 'https://twitter.com/to_milon',
        ],
        [
            'filename' => 'github',
            'url' => 'https://github.com/milon',
        ],
    ],
    ...
]

Alternative way

For easier readability, I recommend export this config to a separate file. You can create a file named redirects.php in the root folder, which should look like this-

<?php

return [
    [
        'filename' => 'twitter',
        'url' => 'https://twitter.com/to_milon',
    ],
    [
        'filename' => 'github',
        'url' => 'https://github.com/milon',
    ],
];

And the config file should look like this-

[
    ...,
    'urlRedirects' => require_once(__DIR__ . '/redirects.php'),
    ...
]

Then in the bootstarp.php file, register a new listener to afterBuild event.

$events->afterBuild(Milon\JigsawUrlShortener\GenerateUrlRedirect::class);

Now, build the site like normal.
