Quick Start

Basic Usage Example

use Grazulex\ShareLink\Facades\ShareLink;  

// Create a file share link with expiration and password  
$link = ShareLink::create('/path/to/document.pdf')  
    ->expiresIn(60) // 60 minutes expiration  
    ->maxClicks(5)  
    ->withPassword('secret123')  
    ->generate();  

echo $link->url; // Outputs the generated share link  

File Sharing Example

// Share a local file  
$link = ShareLink::create('/storage/documents/report.pdf')  
    ->expiresIn(1440) // 24 hours expiration  
    ->maxClicks(10)  
    ->generate();  

Advanced Security Features Example

// Create a burn-after-reading link with IP restrictions  
$link = ShareLink::create('/secure/document.pdf')  
    ->expiresIn(60)  
    ->burnAfterReading() // Self-destructs after first access  
    ->metadata([  
        'allowed_ips' => ['192.168.1.0/24'],  
        'denied_ips' => ['192.168.1.100']
