# 🔗 LittleLink-Server
This project is based on the great work from [littlelink](https://github.com/sethcottle/littlelink)
It takes the same simple approach to a link page and hosts it within a NodeJS server with React Server Side Rendering, containerized for you to use. Now, customizing `LittleLink` with `littlelink-server` is as easy as passing in some environment variables. If you need help configuring this, please see [this video that explains everything](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42SqfI_AjXU) and a live example at [technotim.live](https://technotim.live/).
## 🚀 Getting Started
## 📍 Supported Links & Buttons
Check the [config](https://github.com/techno-tim/littlelink-server/blob/master/src/config.js) file for all supported buttons!
## 📈 Analytics Support
### Google Analytics
See [Getting Started with Analytics](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008015?hl=en). After getting your GA Tracking Id, use your tracking Id as environment variable like `GA_TRACKING_ID=G-XXXXXXXXXX` (See the example below)
All buttons clicked will be tracked automatically if `GA_TRACKING_ID` exists.
Sample event for YouTube button.
```javascript
window.gtag('event', 'youtube-button');
```
### Umami
See [Adding a website & Collecting data](https://umami.is/docs/collect-data) page to add and generate your tracking code.
Generated tracking code should look like:
```javascript
<script async defer data-website-id="00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444" src="https://your-umami-app.com/umami.js"></script>
```
Use `data-website-id` as environment variable `UMAMI_WEBSITE_ID` and `src` as `UMAMI_APP_URL`.
Sample event for YouTube button.
```javascript
window.umami('youtube-button');
```
## 🩺 Health Check
A health check endpoint exists on `/healthcheck`. If healthy, it will return with a `200` and the following response:
```json
{
"status": "ok"
}
```
To skip express from logging these calls, add the environment variable:
```bash
SKIP_HEALTH_CHECK_LOGS=true
```
## 🐳 Docker
This container image is published on both [GitHub Container Registry](https://github.com/techno-tim/littlelink-server/pkgs/container/littlelink-server) and [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/timothystewart6/littlelink-server) choose whichever one works for you. They will both be updated during CI.

## 👇 What is LittleLink?
![LittleLink](https://cdn.cottle.cloud/littlelink/social-circle.png)
LittleLink is a lightweight DIY alternative to services like [Linktree](https://linktr.ee)
and [many.link](https://www.google.com). LittleLink was built using [Skeleton](http://getskeleton.com/), a dead simple, responsive boilerplate—we just stripped out some additional code you wouldn't need and added in branded styles for popular services. 😊
![Themes](https://cdn.cottle.cloud/littlelink/themes.png)
LittleLink has more than 20 company button styles you can use and we'll be throwing more in soon. You'll also find a light and dark theme ready to go. Not a fan of the colors? Update `skeleton-light.css` or `skeleton-dark.css` to the HEX values of your choosing.
![Performance](https://cdn.cottle.cloud/littlelink/performance.png)
Using [Skeleton](http://getskeleton.com/) let us build something that loads quickly & doesn't have any of the unnecessary bloat you would get from using a large framework for a page that requires nothing more than simplicity. LittleLink scored a 99/100 in performance when tested with [Google Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse).
