Introduction

bradietilley/laravel-shortify is a small Laravel package for creating short URLs and redirecting visitors back to the original destination.

It ships with:

• Unique short codes and configurable routing (/s/{code} by default)
• Optional expiry
• Visit tracking (IP, user agent, authenticated user)
• Ownership via user_id
• Soft deletes
• Queued domain events
• Swappable contracts for code generation, visit recording, and redirects

Design goals

• Focused. Shorten, redirect, track — nothing else.
• Extensible. Bind your own CodeGenerator, VisitRecorder, or RedirectsShortUrls.
• Familiar. Eloquent models, config publish, Spatie package tools.
