HTML::Pipeline::BitlyLinkFilter

A HTML Pipeline filter for extracting URLs and making them bit.ly links.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'html-pipeline-bitly'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install html-pipeline-bitly

Usage

To configure this filter to exclude certain hostnames you can set which hosts you want to be excluded from the Bitly shortener:

HTML::Pipeline::BitlyLinkFilter.allowed_hostnames = ['github.com', 'bit.ly']

This pipeline filter also requires Redis as a backend storage, so with that you can just pass in your global instance of your Redis connection like below or instantiate your own:

HTML::Pipeline::BitlyLinkFilter.redis = $redis

By default all links will be prefixed in redis with the bitly namespace, if you'd like to change this you can just set it like below:

HTML::Pipeline::BitlyLinkFilter.redis_namespace = 'hire'

Happy Pipelining!
