A very simple urlshortener program written in Rust language. It uses [urlshortener](https://github.com/iddm/urlshortener-rs) rust library as data provider.

## Installing with `Cargo`

```

cargo install urlshortener-cli

```

## Usage

The interface is minimal as possible:

```

$ urlshortener-cli http://google.ru http://yandex.ru

http://google.ru -> https://is.gd/h5kR5r

http://yandex.ru -> https://is.gd/CifrPx

```

If your url has escaped characters just wrap it with quotes:

```

$ urlshortener-cli "https://www.google.ru/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiclOPp3OTRAhVyb5oKHUzyCl8QFggpMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftest.tankionline.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNFIEFFpu2m_QofHelAXRK0JP4dLOQ&sig2=Fc6eFhPDqNgt5kZMzRWPIA"

https://www.google.ru/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiclOPp3OTRAhVyb5oKHUzyCl8QFggpMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftest.tankionline.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNFIEFFpu2m_QofHelAXRK0JP4dLOQ&sig2=Fc6eFhPDqNgt5kZMzRWPIA -> https://is.gd/jIsDF1

```

The crate supports setting the clipboard content with the optional

`--set-to-clipboard` argument. The shortened links are then copied into

the clipboard for easier use.

```

$ urlshortener-cli --set-to-clipboard "https://google.com"

```

The crate also supports gets the links to shorten from the clipboard.

For this, use the `--get-from-clipboard` argument.

```

$ urlshortener-cli --get-from-clipboard

```

Note that getting the links from the clipboard may be messy on Linux if

the clipboard managers are used.

## Integration with Desktop Environments

### Hyprland

Create a key shortcut to use the shortener: in your quickly

`~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`, put something like this:

```

bind = $mainMod, L, exec, urlshortener-cli --get-from-clipboard --set-to-clipboard

```

Then, just copy a link to your clipboard, and invoke the shortcut, if done like this, -

the `MOD key + L`, to shorten the link. The resulting short link will be in the

clipboard.
