Link Rewrite

A simple link shortener using Cloudflare Workers

Setup

1. Clone this repo to your GitHub account
2. Create a JSON file using the following syntax:

[
    {
        "uri": "/path-1",
        "target": "https://example.com/path-1"
    },
    {
        "uri": "/path-2",
        "target": "https://example.com/path-2"
    }
]

3. Place the JSON file in a GitHub gist (preferrably private). Copy the link to the raw JSON and paste it in wrangler.toml like JSON_URL = "your json url here"

Deploying to Cloudflare

4. Create a new worker in Cloudflare with the this repo closed to your GitHub account
5. Add an environment variable to the worker with the key JSON_URL and set the value to the URL of your GitHub gist
6. Link the worker to a domain you posess in Cloudflare. At this point you can edit the gist to add new values when needed

Local Development

5. To open the test instance run npm run dev
