Rails URL Shortener

RailsUrlShortener is a lightweight Rails engine for short URLs. Ip logger capabilities too.

RailsUrlShortener is a small Rails engine that provides your app with short URL functionality and IP logging capabilities - like having your own Bitly service. By default, RailsUrlShortener saves all visits to your links for future analysis or other interesting uses.

What you get

• Generate unique keys for links
• Provide a controller method that finds, saves request information, and performs a 301 redirect to the original URL
• Associate short links with models in your app
• Save browser, system, and IP data from each request
• Create temporary short links using the expires_at option
• Get IP data from a third-party service

Installing it

# Gemfile
gem "rails_url_shortener"
