0xSU - Ethereum Short URLs (JS Lib)

Finally, the thing you've been waiting for your entire adult life. Decentralized URL shortener. It's like goo.gl except it can't be taken down. It's hosted on QuikNode and integrated with Wyre. This is the JS client you can use for integration with your web3 front-end.

Install: npm install @jonbiro/0xsu-js-lib --save

Here's how it works:

import Du4e from '@jonbiro/0xsu-js-lib'
let oxsu = new Du4e()

Then it will automatically ask for permissions when necessary and pick up the appropriate version of web3. Now you can do things like, get the long version of a link based on a short slug:

const short = "0x397997"

oxsu.getUrl(short).then(url => {
  console.log(url) // https://twitter.com/ETHNewYork/status/1125830316730519556
}) 

// or with await
let url = await oxsu.getUrl(short) // https://twitter.com/ETHNewYork/status/1125830316730519556

or if you want to redirect the browser:

oxsu.forward("0x397997") // https://twitter.com/ETHNewYork/status/1125830316730519556

or just shorten a URL:

const url = "https://twitter.com/ETHNewYork/status/1125830316730519556"
// with zero config
await oxsu.shortenURL(url) // 0xe8d142c0d547f254be15e4aa3a8b7e45139c7b74e7cf425269d63990bb602a8a
// with more control 
oxsu.shortenURL(
  url,
  {
    slug: "vitalik", // [optional] do you know what you want your shortened slug to be?
    acct: "0x31D583a494af597B53eB49B62FCaAb4BAF7f2e69", // [optional] do you want to send from some different address?
    cb: (txID) => { // [optional] using an older version of web3 lib?
      console.log("0xSU TX ID: ", txID) // 0xSU TX ID: 0xe8d142c0d547f254be15e4aa3a8b7e45139c7b74e7cf425269d63990bb602a8a
    }
  }
)

and then you can listen for a shortenedURL:

oxsu.onURLShorten = (slug) => {
  console.log("Slug is ", slug) // Slug is 0x397997
}

or grab all the shortened URLs for a particular Ethereum account:

oxsu.listOfUrls((urls) => {
  console.log(urls) // list of short url slugs useable on any forwarder
}) // gets web3 account urls
oxsu.listOfUrls("0x31D583a494af597B53eB49B62FCaAb4BAF7f2e69", (urls) => {
  console.log(urls) // list of short url slugs useable on any forwarder
}) // gets web3 account urls
