CORTO - your url shortner gem ----------------------------- - Yet another url shortner? corto is a ruby gem that shorten a URL for you and store the result in a SQLite3 database. Why the world needs another url shortener? Well, true to be told I don't know the answer and I'm pretty sure this code is far away from being revolutionary. However... corto is funniest! - Usage Using corto as standalone utility is straightforward. In case you want to shorten an url you just launch the program with the url as parameter. % bin/corto http://www.armoredcode.com % corto: http://www.armoredcode.com shrunk as ji5jnu Please note that you've to supply a valid URL, since internally it's parsed and rejected anything but HTTP and HTTPS verbs. % bin/corto funnystatementhere % corto: it seems funnystatementhere is not a valid url to shrink If you want to deflate a shrunk url, you have just to specify the '-d' flag this way. % bin/corto -d ji5jnu % corto: ji5jnu deflated is http://www.armoredcode.com Super easy, isn't it? Now, go ahead and shrink the web! - API A simple corto shortening session start with class initialization, optionally telling which SQLite3 database to use and then mastering the parameter. require 'corto' ... corto = Corto.new # we're now saying the gem we want to use it's internal database stored in db/corto.db s = corto.shrink('http://www.armoredcode.com') # s now stores the shrinked url that is already added to database if not present. # If you'll pass an invalid url to shrink(), nil will be returned instead Deflating a URL is super easy as well # The deflate process is quite straightforward as well d = corto.deflate(s) # d has now the deflated url or nil if that url was not found You can also count how many urls contained into db # If you want to know how many urls you have in your database, just call the count() method. puts 'Hey, I have stored ' + corto.count() + ' urls' And finally you can purge your db # Tired of your database and time for a massive clean has come? Let's purge the db. corto.purge # corto.count == 0 now - Note on Patches/Pull Requests * Fork the project. * Make your feature addition or bug fix. * Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally. * Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull) * Send me a pull request.

zu == Unzipper (in the tradition of `uz`, but better). Works for .tgz, .xz, .zip, .deb, .rpm — you name it. (Literally. If you find an archive that it doesn't open, let me know about it and I'll add that.) If you have an archive sitting there of format `xyz`, then `zu foo.xyz` should take care of it. It will: - Know how to extract the archive (based on extension ┈ though a version that detects based on `file` is something we're considering) - Guard against impoliteness. That is, if the archive only has one file, it will be permitted to extract into the current directory, otherwise it will first `mkdir foo; cd foo` then extract there. (The directory name will be the archive file minus the extension.) - Download the file first, using `wget`, if the arg starts with `http:`, `https:`, or `ftp:` - Remove the archive file if you pass `-d` Dependencies ------------ `zu` doesn't strive to be dependency-free by any means. For starters, it expects Ruby. Then it simply delegates to `unzip`, `gunzip`, `tar`, etc. Not sure if I ever plan on changing this. The main purpose is to optimize the command-line extraction of archives on a configured box. Installation ------------ 1. Have Ruby 1.8 (with gems) or 1.9 2. `gem install zu` Feedback -------- Tell us. (exad-zu@sharpsaw.worg)[mailto:exad-zu@sharpsaw.org]
