SharePoint URL Shortener and Redirector web part

A modern SharePoint Online web part, released as open source under the MIT License.

Documentation: https://sharepoint-url-shortener.com/

The web part makes it possible to create and redirect shortened URLs. You have 3 features:

1. If you open the page of the web part, you can shorten a URL and add it to the database.
2. You can also find a URL in the database, that has already been shortened.
3. If you paste the shortened URL in the browser, the web part will redirect to the target URL.

Building the code

Note: Ensure that Node.js V10.x is installed. Do not use newer versions! Node.js V14.x and V16.x will not work. They will install a newer gulp-cli that includes a newer gulp-sass module which will throw an error.

• For 64bit Windows use this Node.js installer.
• On other systems download from Node.js V10.x .

To build the code on Windows, run ship.bat. On other systems use

npm install gulp-cli -g
npm install
gulp clean
gulp build
gulp bundle --ship
gulp package-solution --ship

It outputs the file [PROJECT_DIR]\sharepoint\solution\url-shortener-and-redirector-webpart.sppkg.

Testing the web part in the browser

On Windows, run run.bat. On other systems use

npm install
gulp serve
