angular-bitly-generator

Lib created to generate bitly links on-the-fly. Two flavours: service and directive. Fallback: if it exceeds the rate limit, returns the original link. It has been tested with angular 1.2.x & 1.4.

@See http://dev.bitly.com/rate_limiting.html

Installation:

bower install angular-bitly-generator

Add the script to your main html file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="bitly-generator.js"></script>

And then add the lib to your dependencies list:

angular.module('myCoolApp',[..., 'bitly.generator', ...])

Configuration:

.config(['bitlyProvider', function (bitlyProvider) {
	bitlyProvider.cfgBitly({
		login: 'myuser',
		api: 'myapikey',
		domain: 'https://api-ssl.bitly.com', 	// optional. (http://api.bit.ly by default)
		version: '3' 							// optional. Tested with bitly api versions: 2.0.1 & 3 (3 by default)
	});
}])

Usage

Example 1:

<a href="http://www.ondho.com" bitly-generator>Ondho</a> automagically it turns into: <a href="http://bit.ly/ondho">Ondho</a>

Example 2:

bitly.getShortUrl(longUrl).then(function(data){
	console.log("bit.ly DATA:", data);
	$scope.bitlyUrl = data;
	console.log("Bit.ly", $scope.bitlyUrl);
}, function(e){
	console.log("Bit.ly ERROR: ", e);
	$scope.bitlyUrl = e;
});

... and then you can easily bind the result in your template. This case suits very well with the typical social share.
