An easy to use Link shortener module.
Run this command in your terminal of your project
npm i link-shortener
.Shorten([URL to shorten], [Optional Title for the shortened link])
The first parameter of this function has to be the URL that you would like to shorten.
If it isn't a valid URL or if you didn't enter a URL, you will see an error show up in the console.
The second parameter of this function can be left empty if you don't want a custom link title, if you want a custom title, you can enter a string as the second parameter.
To check if the title is taken by another user, you have to add a check in your code (example given below).
Example of a custom link title: https://cutt.ly/CustomLink
Example of a random link title: https://cutt.ly/wXyH2
const Shortener = require('link-shortener') // Require the module
const result = Shortener.Shorten('https://www.google.com', 'Google').then((res) => { // Using the .Shorten() function
if (typeof res === 'undefined') { // Checking if the title entered is taken
console.log("The requested title is already taken.")
} else {
console.log(res) // If the title is not taken, the link will be logged
}
})
We've tested it multiple times for issues, if you do find any issues feel free to create an issue in our github repository.
