now-go

A tinyurl service.

Now go, let the legend come back to life!

Features

• Lightweight tinyurl service (in 100 lines).
• Three types of routes:
  • URL: redirect to an url
  • TEXT: echo a string
  • FUNCTION: return a URL/TEXT by req argument
• Deploy to now.sh with one command.

Quick Start

• cli

  npm i -g now-go
  now-go -c path/to/config.json
  

• programmatically

  const go = require('now-go')
  const config = require('./path/to/config.json') // routes config
  
  go(config)  // Start server on port 3000

Example config

content of config.json:

{
  // 302 redirection
  "/": "https://example.com",

  // echo text
  "/tag": "Now go, let the legend come back to life!",

  // "*" is a special route for unmatched path
  "*": "Yet another tinyurl service."
}

or you can use function for more advanced usage, like example.config.js (The config for http://go.now.sh.)

// example.config.js
module.exports = {
  // stright routes
  "/": "https://example.com",
  "/hi": "Hello there!",

  // functional route
  "*": (req) => `This ${req.url} leads to nowhere.`
}
