PUNy-SHOrtener - Yet Another URL Shortener
Spelled pan‧cho - ˈpãnʲ.t͡ʃo
props to XKCD
We decided that we need something that doesn't exist on every other project (mix all of them, and you would have it).
So, we decided to make yet another URL shortener.
You can clone this repo or use one of the precompiled binaries available in the release section
You can also use docker, pre-made images are available for you at docker pull ghcr.io/doutorfinancas/pun-sho:latest
or you can:
# this API_PORT is defined in .env file or put it in env itself
export API_PORT=8080
docker run --env-file=.env -p 8080:${API_PORT} -t ghcr.io/doutorfinancas/pun-sho:latest pun-sho
You should also copy the .env.example
to .env
and fill the values for the database.
you can use either cockroach
or postgres
as value for the DB_ADAPTOR
If you want to use cockroach
, you can create a free account here
Bellow are a few examples of how to use the API. You can find the documentation here
read -r -d '' BODY <<EOF
{
"link": "https://www.google.pt/",
"TTL": "2023-03-25T23:59:59Z",
"redirection_limit": 5,
"qr_code": {
"create": true,
"width" : 50,
"height": 50,
"foreground_color": "#000000",
"background_color": "#ffffff",
"shape": "circle"
}
}
EOF
# you could use "background_color": "transparent" to request a png without background
# by setting env property QR_PNG_LOGO to a png filepath,
# it will overlay the logo on qrcode center
curl -XPOST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/short \
-H 'token: ThisIsA5uper$ecureAPIToken' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d $BODY
This would render an answer like:
{
"id":"4b677dfe-e17a-46e7-9cd2-25a45e8cb19c",
"link":"https://www.google.pt/",
"TTL":"2023-03-25T23:59:59Z",
"redirection_limit": 5,
"created_at":"2023-03-20T10:50:38.399449Z",
"deleted_at":null,
"accesses":null,
"qr_code": "data:image/png;base64,ASfojih134kjhas9f8798134lk2fasf...",
"short_link":"https://env.configured.domain/s/SEdeyZByeP",
"visits":0,
"redirects":0
}
It's also possible to edit a shortlink, by using the PATCH method
read -r -d '' BODY <<EOF
{
"link": "https://www.google.pt/",
"TTL": "2023-03-25T23:59:59Z",
"redirection_limit": 5,
"cancel": false,
}
EOF
curl -XPATCH http://localhost:8080/api/v1/short/4b677dfe-e17a-46e7-9cd2-25a45e8cb19c \
-H 'token: ThisIsA5uper$ecureAPIToken' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d $BODY
The response is equal to the POST one:
{
"id":"4b677dfe-e17a-46e7-9cd2-25a45e8cb19c",
"link":"https://www.google.pt/",
"TTL":"2023-03-25T23:59:59Z",
"redirection_limit": 5,
"created_at":"2023-03-20T10:50:38.399449Z",
"deleted_at":null,
"accesses":null,
"qr_code": "data:image/png;base64,ASfojih134kjhas9f8798134lk2fasf...",
"short_link":"https://env.configured.domain/s/SEdeyZByeP",
"visits":0,
"redirects":0
}
If you want to preview the QR code only, you can use the preview endpoint with the same body as above No TTL exists in that endpoint though (as its only preview mode), and the link is exactly the one you sent
read -r -d '' BODY <<EOF
{
"link": "https://www.google.pt/",
"qr_code": {
"create": true,
"width" : 50,
"height": 50,
"foreground_color": "#000000",
"background_color": "#ffffff",
"shape": "circle"
}
}
EOF
curl -XPOST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/preview \
-H 'token: ThisIsA5uper$ecureAPIToken' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d $BODY
curl -H 'token: ThisIsA5uper$ecureAPIToken' http://localhost:8080/api/v1/short/c62cbe57-7e45-4e87-a7c1-11cfb006870b
This would render an answer like ("visits" and "redirects" will only be equal to 1 if you access the link once):
{
"id":"c62cbe57-7e45-4e87-a7c1-11cfb006870b",
"link":"https://www.google.pt/",
"TTL":"2023-03-25T23:59:59Z",
"redirection_limit": 5,
"created_at":"2023-03-19T18:56:06.8404Z",
"deleted_at":null,
"accesses": [
{
"created_at":"2023-03-19T18:56:09.615403Z",
"meta": {
"meta_collection": [

}
]
},

],
"short_link":"https://env.configured.domain/s/SE345ZByeP",

}
curl -H 'token: ThisIsA5uper$ecureAPIToken' http://localhost:8080/api/v1/short/?limit=20&offset=0
Which will return a list of short links, using pagination.
curl -H 'token: ThisIsA5uper$ecureAPIToken' -XDELETE http://localhost:8080/api/v1/short/c62cbe57-7e45-4e87-a7c1-11cfb006870b
You can execute all the tests of the application by using make test
.
If you want to only execute one of the types we have, then you can run:
make test/go
for Go testsmake test/http-requests
for http-requests tests (uses Docker but you can, locally, execute them through Intellij IDEA or through http-client cli).
This project uses database migrations. For any changes on the DB structure to be dealt with or replicated or rolled-back we use a migration tool.
# cockroach
go install -tags 'cockroachdb' github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4/cmd/migrate@latest
# postgres
go install -tags 'postgres' github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4/cmd/migrate@latest
make migration/create
To go versions up:
make migration/up
To go versions down:
make migration/clean
We are currently working actively in the project and as such there still isn't a closed API.
However, we are already using it in production, in our own projects.
We consider this to be an MVP and as such use it at your own risk.
we will be releasing 0.X until we bind a contract to the API
- Define stable contract version
- Add GUI (web based) with:
- Base login page
- Dashboard with overview
- Ability to track a specific link data
- Show list of links with filters (by date range, status)
- Allow better security (variable API Key, oauth2 or even simple jwt)
- Add GitHub pages with openapi/swagger definition #19
