Shorterurl NPM

shorterurl Introduction

install package:

npm i --save shorterurl

this package is useful when you need to make your string safer and shorter.

you can make your string shorter by method getShorter and this method give you a short token.
for transfer your token to original string you should use method getOriginal and pass your token.
for save the data in your memory instead database you should use method type and pass MEMORY as an argument in that.
for remove your un necessary data you can use method purge and you should pass a timestamp and then purge method delete all data before that time.

shorterurl is a Promise base, so you only need to use it as an await.

shorterurl store a result in a SQLite Database at <your root project>/shorterurl-database/database.sqlite

Example:

get Short string/url :

const shorter = require("shorterurl");
const LONG_URL = "https://www.npmjs.com/package/shorterurl"(
  // make string/url Shorter
  async () => {
    const short = await shorter.getShorter(LONG_URL);
    console.log("short url: ", short);
  }
)(); // it's gave you a token like "1rfN5BOw3"

if you want to validate getShorter token, we have used shortId in our package, so you can use shortId for your token validation.

get Original string/url :

const shorter = require("shorterurl");
const TOKEN = "1rfN5BOw3";
// pass shorter url and get the original url

(async () => {
  const original_url = await shorter.getOriginal(TOKEN);
  console.log("Original url: ", original_url);
})(); // it's gave you somting like https://www.npmjs.com/package/shorterurl

purge data :

const shorter = require("shorterurl");

(async () => {
  await shorter.purge(Date.now());
  console.log("all data is deleted");
})();

save in memory :

const shorter = require("shorterurl");
const LONG_URL = "https://www.npmjs.com/package/shorterurl";

(async () => {
  await shorter.type("MEMORY");
  const short = await shorter.getShorter(LONG_URL);
  console.log("short url: ", short);
})();
