A super simple HTTP redirect service.

This app has been designed for nodejs v20.10.0 but will likely work with nearby versions.

Install the dependencies normally with npm install.

Run locally with npm run start. You can also run the application in a docker container with docker compose up.

Specify demo redirects (i.e. URLs which show a demo of a product) in the demoRedirects const. The key of each item is used in the URL to redirect to the value if the URL contains the query string "demo". For example:

const demoRedirects = {
  sonicboom: "https://demo.sam.gl/sonicboom",
  hermes: "https://hermes.example.com",
};

• /?demo=sonicboom redirects to https://demo.sam.gl/sonicboom
• /?demo=hermes redirects to https://hermes.example.com

The same can be done for code redirects (i.e. URLs which contain the source code of a product.) For example:

const codeRedirects = {
  sonicboom: "https://github.com/sam-gl/sonicboom",
  hermes: "https://github.com/sam-gl/hermes-react",
};

• /?code=sonicboom redirects to https://github.com/sam-gl/sonicboom
• /?code=hermes redirects to https://github.com/sam-gl/hermes-react

There are two types of redirect due to the restrictions of sam.gl as the links are semi-hardcoded into the theme.
