Changed

• Updated the database migrations for the short_urls table

Updated the database migrations for the short_urls table (#80)

The initial migration that creates the short_urls table has now been updated to make some small improvements. The destination_url field has now been changed from a varchar field to a TEXT field to allow for longer destination URLs to be stored. The url_key field is now unique to prevent any race conditions that allowed duplicated keys to be stored in the database.

Huge thanks to @Victor-emil for this contribution too!

Migrated the CI tests to be run using GitHub Actions instead of Travis CI (#67)

Up until now, the tests for the pull requests have been run on Travis CI. But, as of v5.1.0, the tests will now be run on GitHub Actions instead.

Short URL v5.0.0

Changed

• Made it mandatory to publish migrations

Made it mandatory to publish migrations (#61)

Prior to v5.0.0 of Short URL, the database migrations would be automatically loaded via the package's service provider. As of
v5.0.0, it's now mandatory for the migrations to be published as they won't be automatically loaded anymore. This gives you more control over the migrations and when/how they are run in your system rather than being forced to run them by the service provider.

To publish the migrations to your own database/migrations folder, run the following command in your project root:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="short-url-migrations"

Changed

Updated the private fields in the Builder class to be protected (#62 )

Short URL v4.2.0

New Features

• Added support for PHP 8

Added support for PHP 8 (#58)

As of Short URL v4.2.0, the package can now be run using PHP 8.
