Google.Shortener class

Class: Google.Shortener

location: MSMUtil.js

requires: Ext Js

Access Google service to shorten urls. See also Google Documentation.

Cross browser calls

This component makes cross browser calls because it relies on an external rest service. The current implementation uses the http_proxy developed by GeoSolutions. Hence, you need to add Google url to proxy config file proxy.properties.

• Add www.googleapis.com to hostnameWhitelist,
• Add (.google.) (or another regexp) to reqtypeWhitelist.fdh,
• Redeploy http_proxy, if necessary.

Usage examples

var shortener = new Google.Shortener({ 
		    appid: /* PUT HERE YOUR GOOGLE API KEY */ 
		}).failure(function(response){
	           /* CALLBACK METHOD IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG */
	        });
		});
                // async method to shorten urls
		shortener.shorten(
		     /* YOUR VERY LONG URL */,
		     function(response){
		         /* response.id  contains your short URL */
		     });
