Methods
Available options:
setExpiration()
With this method we can set temporary value for expiration. The value set here will be reset when the: siteUrl(), urlTo() or sign() methods are called.
This is number of seconds in unix timestamp that will be added to the current date.
service('signedurl')->setExpiration(DAY)->siteUrl('url');Note
If you want the URLs to always be valid for a certain period of time, you can set time in the $expiration variable in the configuration file.
siteUrl()
This method is similar to the standard site_url, but it produces signed URL.
service('signedurl')->siteUrl('controller/method');urlTo()
This method is similar to the standard url_to, but it produces signed URL.
service('signedurl')->urlTo('namedRoute', 'param');sign()
With this method we can sign URI. Usually you won't be using this method directly, since it is used by other methods.
service('signedurl')->sign($uri);verify()
With this method we can verify if given URL is properly signed and not expired if expiration timestamp was set during URL creation.
service('signedurl')->verify($request);The URL verification may take place automatically via Filter class, but you can also make it happen in your Controller instead. The choice is up to you.
