URL Generation

Doppar provides several helpers to assist you in generating URLs for your application. These helpers are primarily helpful when building links in your templates, or when generating redirect responses to another part of your application. The most basic URL generation will be like assume we want to generate url using route name.

Generating URLs

Doppar provides a convenient url helper function that can be used to generate full URLs within your application. This helper automatically uses the scheme (HTTP or HTTPS) and host from the current request context.

use App\Models\Post;

$post = Post::find(1);

echo url("/posts/{$post->id}");

// http://example.com/posts/1

You can use to() function to generate url like


use Phaseolies\Support\Facades\URL;

URL::to('products')->make(); // using URL facades
url()->to('products')->make(); // using helper function

// http://example.com/products

To generate a URL with query string parameters, you may use the query method:

return url()->to('products', ['category' => 'electronics', 'page' => 2])->make();

// http://example.com/products?category=electronics&page=2

Secure URL

To generate a secure (HTTPS) URL, Doppar provides support through the UrlGenerator class. By enabling the secure flag, all generated URLs will use the https:// scheme:

url()->to('checkout')->setSecure(true)->make();
// https://example.com/checkout

With Fragment

You can append a fragment (hash) to the end of a URL using withFragment():

url()->to('about')->withFragment('team')->make();

// http://localhost:8000/about#team

Signed URL

Generate a temporary, signed URL (useful for secure actions like downloads or password resets):

url()->signed('download', ['file' => 'report.pdf'], 3600);

// http://example.com/download?file=report.pdf&expires=...&signature=...

You can also create this above URL using

url()->to('/download')
    ->withQuery(['file' => 'report.pdf'])
    ->withSignature(3600)
    ->withFragment('about')
    ->make();

// output
http://localhost:8000/download?file=report.pdf&expires=1742401435&signature=363ef0e47fd9fca7197882490ee8f4c132df6b9b6e9e0041ac0df5c31cc349d3#about

Verify Signed URL

To ensure that your application only processes requests with valid signed URLs, you can use the hasValidSignature() method. This method checks whether the URL has been properly signed and hasn’t been tampered with or expired. Here’s an example of how to use it in your code:

if ($request->hasValidSignature()) {
  // Valid signed url
}

This ensures that only requests with authentic signatures are allowed to execute sensitive actions, improving the security of your application.

Route Generation

Use named routes to generate URLs dynamically:

url()->route('user.profile', ['id' => 123]);

// http://example.com/users/123/profile

Current URL

Retrieve the full URL of the current request:

url()->current();

// http://example.com/current-path

Full URL with Query

Get the full current URL including query parameters:

url()->full();

// http://example.com/current-path?with=query

Changing Security Setting

Toggle between HTTP and HTTPS programmatically:

url()->to('login')->setSecure(true)->make();

// Output: https://example.com/login

URL Validation

Check if a given string is a valid URL:

url()->isValid('https://valid.com'); // true
url()->isValid('invalid url');       // false

Accessing public assets

Doppar provides enqueue() method to access your public assstes like

url()->enqueue('/assets/example.png');

// http://example.com/assets/example.png

Get Base URL

To get base URL, you can call base() method like

url()->base();

// http://example.com

URL Facades

You can generate all the above URL using Phaseolies\Support\Facades\URL facades. Doppar provides both ways to generate custom URL. Let's see an example of generating URL using URL facades.

use Phaseolies\Support\Facades\URL;

URL::to('/download')
    ->withQuery(['file' => 'report.pdf'])
    ->withSignature(3600)
    ->withFragment('about')
    ->make();

This fluent API makes it easy to build complex URLs cleanly and consistently.
