redirect-node

Simple Node.js application that redirects a given domain (or a path) to a specified URL.

How does it work?

• Listen on a given port (default: PORT environment variable or 5000)

• Catch all requests

• Search for the requested domain under url section

  • if found then search for the requested path under the domain

• Search for a wildcard (*) under url section

  • if found then search for the requested path under the wildcard

• Search for the requested domain under domain section

If the app found a matching entry anywhere then all subsequent sections will be skipped and executes the redirection with code 302.

Configuration

You can find a redirects.js... so... This file is your configuration file.

module.exports.domain = {
  'localhost'            : 'http://google.com',
  'plus.folyam.info'     : 'https://plus.google.com/u/0/105853491239853198987',
  'hatvanimagnosklub.hu' : 'http://www.hatvanimagnosklub.hu'
};

module.exports.url = {
  'localhost': {
    '/plus.html'  : 'https://plus.google.com/u/0/105853491239853198987',
  },
  'plus.folyam.info': {
    '/yitsushi'   : 'https://plus.google.com/u/0/104695723888883478740'
  },
  '*': {
    '/+'          : 'http://plus.google.com',
    '/github'     : 'https://github.com/Yitsushi/redirect-node'
  }
};

What does it mean?

Request: http://localhost/plus.html
redirect to: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105853491239853198987

because localhost domain found under url and /plus.html found under url['localhost'].

Request: http://localhost/+
redirect to: http://plus.google.com

because localhost domain found under url but /+ does not found under url['localhost'], so wildcard found under url and /+ found under url['*'].

Request: http://localhost/
redirect to: http://google.com

because localhost domain found under url but / does not found under url['localhost'], so wildcard found under url but / does not found under url['*'] and localhost found under domain.

How can I run it on Heroku?

git clone https://github.com/Yitsushi/redirect-node.git
cd redirect-node
heroku create --stack cedar
heroku domains:add your.domain.tld
git push -u heroku master

Yes, You need to add each domain what you want to use. If you make some changes on redirects.js then you need to commit and push it to Heroku with git push.
