nodejs-redirect

Simple redirect service

Option 1 - Install from npm and run the redirection service

First, install nodejs-redirect using npm or yarn

npm install --global nodejs-redirect
# or using yarn
yarn global add nodejs-redirect

Run nodejs-redirect and set your environment variables:

REDIRECTION_URL=https://google.com nodejs-redirect

Option 2 - Install from source as an application

First, clone the project from github and install the node modules:

git clone https://github.com/sharvit/nodejs-redirect.git
cd nodejs-redirect
yarn

Run npm start and set your environment variables:

REDIRECTION_URL=https://google.com npm start

Available environment variables

| Variable | Description | Default Value | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------ | | REDIRECTION_URL | URl to redirect requests | https://google.com | | CHAIN_REQUEST_URL | Will chain the request path to the redirect url. | false | | PORT | Port to run the service | 3000 |

Option 3 - Use as a library

import { RedirectServer } from 'nodejs-redirect';

const to = 'https://google.com';
const chain = true;
const port = 3000;

// create the redirection server
const server = new RedirectServer(to, chain);

// start listening
server.listen(port);

// Render some console log output
console.log('Redirection server listening on port: ' + port);
console.log('Redirecting all requests to: ' + to);
console.log('Chaining requests url is: ' + (chain ? 'on' : 'off'));

Option 4 - Use as an express middleware

import express from 'express';
import { createRedirectMiddleware } from 'nodejs-redirect'

const to = 'https://google.com';
const chain = true;
const port = 3000;

// create an express server
const server = express();

// create the redirection middleware
const redirectionMiddleware = createRedirectMiddleware({ to, chain });

// setup the redirection middleware on all requests
server.get('*', redirectionMiddleware);

// start listening
server.listen(port);

// Render some console log output
console.log('Redirection server listening on port: ' + port);
console.log('Redirecting all requests to: ' + to);
console.log('Chaining requests url is: ' + (chain ? 'on' : 'off'));
