A simple command-line/module to convert short url's to the original url.
Install the module with: npm install realurl -g
I would recommend installing it globally so you can use it from the command line.
$ realurl http://goo.gl/BGV9x
Retrieving the real url for: http://goo.gl/BGV9x
Real URL location:
https://github.com/manuelvanrijn/node-realurl
Result has been copied to your clipboard
var realurl = require('realurl');
realurl.get('http://goo.gl/BGV9x', function(error, result) {
// error = null;
// result = "http://github.com/manuelvanrijn/node-realurl";
});
realurl.get('http://this-is-not-a-real-url.com/at-all', function(error, result) {
// error = Error('URL resulted in a 404');
// result = null;
});
realurl.get('', function(error, result) {
// error = Error('Please specify a short url');
// result = null;
});
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using grunt.
