Ruby implementation of [python-short_url](https://github.com/Alir3z4/python-short_url) > A bit-shuffling approach is used to avoid generating consecutive, predictable URLs. However, the algorithm is deterministic and will guarantee that no collisions will occur. More detail is [here](https://github.com/Alir3z4/python-short_url#short-url-generator). ## Installation Add this line to your application's `Gemfile`: ```ruby gem 'ruby-short_url' ``` And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install ruby-short_url ## Usage ```rb # shorten id Ruby::ShortUrl::Encoder.new.encode_url(123456) # => "00crI" # decode encoded Ruby::ShortUrl::Encoder.new.decode_url("00crI") # => 123456 ``` ### Create your own short URL ```rb class CustomEncoder < Ruby::ShortUrl::Encoder def initialize # Set your own custom alphabet and block_size super(alphabet: "0123abc", block_size: 5) end end # > custom_encoder = CustomEncoder.new # => # # # > custom_encoder.encode_url(1) # => "00022" # > custom_encoder.encode_url(2) # => "00011" # > custom_encoder.encode_url(3) # => "00033" # # > custom_encoder.decode_url("00022") # => 1 # > custom_encoder.decode_url("00011") # => 2 # > custom_encoder.decode_url("00033") # => 3 ``` ## Development After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment. To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release` to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org). ## Contributing 1.
