I'm a beginning Go programmer who is writing a web application---any help appreciated.
There are URLs for the webpages which are in the following format:
www.websitename.com/ucihvpl9yyl764p0g8szt9tutifxrf
My goal is to create a unique identifier on the webpage (of length N), which both links to this HTML, and creates a special URL of the format www.websitename.com/unique_identifer
for users to easier access this HTML. This unique identifier should be created once, and not change.
It's clear to me how to generate a random string (see below), but it's not clear how to connect this to the HTML, or create a novel URL based on this unique token linking to the original URL.
I think I know how to generate a unique identifier with the following, using this link: https://blog.questionable.services/article/generating-secure-random-numbers-crypto-rand/
Here, the string is length 20
package main
import(
"fmt"
"crypto/rand"
"encoding/base64"
)
// GenerateRandomBytes returns securely generated random bytes.
func GenerateRandomBytes(n int) ([]byte, error) {
b := make([]byte, n)
_, err := rand.Read(b)
// Note that err == nil only if we read len(b) bytes.
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return b, nil
}
// GenerateRandomString returns a URL-safe, base64 encoded securely generated random string.
func GenerateRandomString(s int) (string, error) {
b, err := GenerateRandomBytes(s)
return base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString(b), err
}
func main() {
token, err := GenerateRandomString(20)
if err != nil {
// Serve an appropriately vague error to the
// user, but log the details internally.
}
fmt.Println(token)
}
