now-go

Create tinyurl/redirection service with ease.

Now go, let the legend come back to life!

Features

• Lightweight tinyurl service (~50 sloc).
• Three types of routes:
  • URL: redirect to an url
  • TEXT: echo a string
  • FUNCTION: accepts req argument, returns URL/TEXT routes
• 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
  

• create http handler

  const http = require('http')
  const { createHandler } = require('now-go')
  
  const config = require('./path/to/config.json')
  const handler = createHandler(config)
  
  http.createServer(handler).listen(3000)
  

Example configs

go-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."
}

go-config.js

// redirect everything to new-example.com
module.exports = {
  "*": (req) => `https://new-example.com${req.url}`
}
