shortener

Basic URL shortener as a Django app.

To use:

1. Install using pip pip install shortener
2. Include shortener.apps.ShortenerConfig to INSTALLED_APPS in your project's settings.py
3. Add the shortener to urls.py.
   • Example: path('s/', include('shortener.urls', namespace='shortener')) will shorten URLs to https://example.com/s/<ID>.
4. python manage.py migrate
5. Either add in URL shortcuts manually through Admin, or add some hook in your project to call shortener.objects.get_or_create. The function takes in a long URL and returns a Url object which contains the full shortened url as Url.shortened, and the slug in Url.short_id.
