Ping for Laravel

This Laravel package is simple and unopinionated. It simply returns the HTTP Status Code for a provided URL.

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require cookiemc337/laravel-web-status-checker

You'll need to register the ServiceProvider and Facade:

// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    // ...
    CookieMC337\Checker\WebStatusCheckerServiceProvider::class,
];

'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'WebStatusChecker' => CookieMC337\Checker\Facades\WebStatusChecker::class,
];

Usage

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Ping;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class LinkController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Show the current health of a given URL.
     *
     * @param  string  $url
     * @return string
     */
    public function healthCheck($url)
    {
        $health = Ping::check($url);

        if($health == 200) {
            return 'Alive!';
        } else {
            return 'Dead :(';
        }
    }
}
