My own little URL shortener.
Clone the repository and edit the staticwebapp.config.json file.
This URL shortener is based on netlify-shortener logic, but uses Azure static web apps instead.
You can add a link by modifying staticwebapp.config.json where route is the shorturl and redirect contains the destination.
{
"route": "/lnkdn",
"redirect": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/stijncallebaut/"
"statusCode": 301
}
Instead of manually updating your staticwebapp.config.json file, you could also use the aswa-shortener npm package.
Aswa (Azure Static Web App) shortener automatically generates a short code and checks if your route already exists. It will also push your changes to your origin, triggering a build of your Azure Static Web App.
Note: It takes a minute or to for the build to complete, so your shortcode is not available in real-time.
I was on the look-out for a cheap free URL shortener service with custom domain support, and got triggered by netifly-urlshortener as it shines in its simplicity.
Selfhosting was not so much of an issue, as with netifly, Azure Static Web Apps also has a free tier.
If you are looking at a more robust and feature rich alternative I would suggest looking at AzUrlShortener
