Provides a simple tag for shortening URLs inside a view. For example:
#{shorten.url 'http://www.example.com'/}
will render to:
http://is.gd/RGW31T
There is not currently any way of adding further parameters and only is.gd can be used.
Once a short URL is found for a long URL, this mapping is stored in the play cache (play.cache.Cache) with the key set to “url-shortener_” followed by the long URL and the value set to the short URL.
Download this whole project into a directory called urlShortener and copy that to the modules directory inside your play framework. I’ll try and get this added to the modules repository soon to make this step easier.
After installing the module, add the following to your application.conf to enable it:
module.shortener=${play.path}/modules/urlShortener
