Feature: Add short.io as a shortening link

[nevo-david]

🔖 Feature description

We have implemented a shortening link option,
It automatically shortens every link in the post.
It's pretty simple to add providers.

🎤 Why is this feature needed ?

We want to use their favorite shortening linking program!

✌️ How do you aim to achieve this?

It's pretty simple,

• Go to libraries/nestjs-libraries/src/short-linking/providers
• Duplicate dub.ts and rename it to short.io.ts
• Implement all the logic of ShortLinking interface.
• Go to libraries/nestjs-libraries/src/short-linking/short.link.service.ts and add the new provider to getProvider function.

Thank you. The issue was created to let members practice their programming skills.
We are not looking for AI solutions at the moment.

Hey @nevo-david, can I work in this feature ?
Apparently, it looks pretty simple, let me know if my understandings are correct..
So, right now postiz has integration with dub.co for link shortening feature.
and we are trying to integrate short.io for the same purpose.

All I need to create a new file as short.io.ts that implements ShortLinking interface and implement all the methods from ShortLinking, so we can talk with short.io apis.

Finally, I need to import the new class inside ShortLinking service, so we can use it.

Let me know you thoughts and guide me if I am missing something and please assign this issue to me, as I have started in this issue.

[nevo-david]

Yes, it's very simple :)
Just make sure you test it before, assigning it to you :)

[ak7550]

sure, thanks :)

Hey @nevo-david , I was going through the docs of short.io and exploring the apis that will be needed for this integration.
What I found here is that we need to connect / create a domain with short.io, and all the short urls will be created under this domain.
Right now, I just created a free test domain for testing and integration purpose, but in the actual production environment, we need to setup or connect with an actual domain in short.io

What should be the value of this domain ?

PS. - api docs to connect with a domain

[nevo-david]

@ak7550 I think we can use their short.io domain if we want, we don't have to use a customized one

Hi @nevo-david, quick update, I have implemented the necessary changes, that you can check the pr #564 .
All though, as per your suggestion, I am trying to test the code in local system. As the repo is configured via nx. I am having difficulties to run the backend server in debug mode in Vscode.

Would you like to share that how do you debug your code ? This is the first time I am working with nx, so it's a bit overwhelming for me to figure out the debug configuration for nx.

So this is the only thing due to which my progress is kind of blocked. I will keep on updating my work status in this thread.
