## Installation
Only 1 step:
### Download UrlShortener using composer
Add UrlShortener in your composer.json:
```js
{
"require": {
"mremi/url-shortener": "dev-master"
}
}
```
Now tell composer to download the library by running the command:
``` bash
$ php composer.phar update mremi/url-shortener
```
Composer will install the library to your project's `vendor/mremi` directory.
## Bit.ly API
```php
setLongUrl('http://www.google.com');
$bitlyProvider = new BitlyProvider(
new OAuthClient('username', 'password'),
array('connect_timeout' => 1, 'timeout' => 1)
);
$bitlyProvider->shorten($link);
$bitlyProvider->expand($link);
```
## Google API
```php
setLongUrl('http://www.google.com');
$googleProvider = new GoogleProvider(
'api_key',
array('connect_timeout' => 1, 'timeout' => 1)
);
$googleProvider->shorten($link);
$googleProvider->expand($link);
```
## Chain providers
```php
addProvider($bitlyProvider);
$chainProvider->addProvider($googleProvider);
// add yours...
$link = new Link;
$link->setLongUrl('http://www.google.com');
$chainProvider->getProvider('bitly')->shorten($link);
$chainProvider->getProvider('google')->expand($link);
```
## Retrieve link
You can retrieve some links using these finders:
```php
findOneByProviderAndShortUrl('bitly', 'http://bit.ly/ze6poY');
$expanded = $linkManager->findOneByProviderAndLongUrl('google', 'http://www.google.com');
```
