Shortens URLs automatically using the Google URL Shortener API.

This template shows how to shorten URLs automatically as they are added.

Functions Code

See file functions/index.js for the code.

This uses the Google URL Shortener API.

The dependencies are listed in functions/package.json.

Sample Database Structure

We'll be using a simple database structure:

/functions-project-12345
    /links
        link-123456: "https://my.super.long-link.com/api/user/profile/-jEHitne10395-k3593085"

When a new URL (string) is pushed to /links, it gets replaced with an object containing the original URL and a shortened one. This way, you can display a clean URL by fetching /links/$linkId/short.

/functions-project-12345
    /links
        /link-123456
            original: "https://my.super.long-link.com/api/user/profile/-jEHitne10395-k3593085",
            short: "https://goo.gl/EKDdza"
