Web Shortener Module
####################
The web_shortener module allows URLs to be shortened. It counts the number of
times the URL is accessed and optionally triggers action.
The module defines a route ``/s/<shortened_id>``
which will redirect the queries to the URL registered previously with
``ShortenedURL.get_url``.
Models that need to be callable from a shortened URL must define the method
``shortened_url_execute``. This class method will be called from the underlying
queue with the record and the keywords arguments transmitted when calling
``get_url``.
Shortened URL
*************
- Shortened URL: The shortened URL
- Redirect URL: The URL the request is redirected to
- Record: The record on which ``method`` will be executed
- Method: The name of the method to call on ``record``
- Count: The number of times this shortened URL has been triggered
Configuration
*************
The web_shortener modules uses the parameter from the section:
- ``[web]``:
- ``shortener_base``: The base URL without path for shortened URL.
The default value is composed with the configuration ``[web]``
``hostname``.
