Gimly is a URL shortener service written in Golang. It's just a hobby project, so don't expect a lot of features. I'll add the necessary shortening service features if I have enough time to work on it.

Up & Running

git clone git@github.com:murat/gimly.git && cd gimly
go mod download
cd web && npm install && npm run build && cd ..
go run cmd/gimly/main.go
# or
air # you need to install it

Will listen :8080 port 🤞

API Contracts

Create a short url

echo '{"data":{"title":"Github","url":"https://github.com"}}' | http post :8080/api/url

{
    "data": {
        "url": {
            "title": "Github",
            "url": "https://github.com"
        },
        "short_id": "UrIRHQx9"
    }
}

Get list of urls

http :8080/api/url

{
    "data": [{
        "url": {
            "title": "Github",
            "url": "https://github.com"
        },
        "short_id": "UrIRHQx9"
    }...],
}

Get a short url

http :8080/u/UrIRHQx9

It will redirect with HTTP status 308 🤞

Cheers 🍻
