Pretty Urls

There has been a lot written about structuring urls. Just google around and you'll find a truckload of examples about best practices to structure urls. In this post, i'll share some of my learnings with examples. I'll be using my pet side project:

https://packageindex.com

Urls tell a story e.g. here's the url for the redis app called redis-commander:

/techstacks/categories/kvstores/redis/apps/redis-commander

The story that can be formed from the above is: Within the technology stacks categories, we are talking about the redis-commander application of the redis key-value store.

2. The urls should degrade gracefully. By this I mean that you should be able to truncate elements off the url path and the url should still work. i.e. it should still tell a story. e.g.

/techstacks/categories/kvstores/redis/apps

The story that can be formed from the above is: Within the technology stacks categories, here are all the applications we have surrounding the redis key-value store.

/techstacks/categories/kvstores/redis

The story that can be formed from the above is: Within the technology stacks categories, here are the details of the redis key-value store.

3. In cases where you have no content to show for a particular truncated url, redirect to another url with content. e.g.

/techstacks

The above url really has no content as it is just for namespacing. Hence I redirect to the home page.

4. Use plurals within the url. This is more of a stylistic convention. e.g. I use the work 'categories' rather than 'category'.

5. Always return the correct HTTP return code. So 200 for GET, 201 for POST etc

6. Always honor the HEAD request on your homepage. It helps in many caching type scenarios. e.g. try:

curl -I -X HEAD https://www.packageindex.com

RailsCasts Episode #314 Pretty URLs with FriendlyId

A new RailsCasts episode has been published: http://rh.gd/zzq9JF

#railscasts #episode #rg #pretty url #friendlyid

Google Plus: Pretty URL on your own domain!

Google redirects http://google.com/+ to http://plus.google.com and it's very simple to do this on your own domain too!

For Apache (with .htaccess): Insert this line in your .htaccess file in the root of the domain (if you don't see this file, just create one!)

Redirect /+ https://plus.google.com/108884222134944773728/post

# /+ is your base URL (yourdomain.com/+) you can use plus or anything to fit your need.

# https://plus.google.com/108884222134944773728/post is the URL it will redirect to, paste your long Google+ URL here or use gplus.to's URL.

For Nginx: There is no .htaccess file on Nginx server, if you want to redirect to your own Google+ Profile URL, you have to have access to nginx domain config file. (In Ubuntu, it's located at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled). In this file, find location / {} and paste this line between { and }.

rewrite ^/+ https://plus.google.com/100995349638807368851/posts;

Restart Nginx and have fun with new Google+ URL on your own domain :)
