Walkthrough

Replaced the shortened spec URL https://bit.ly/asyncapi with https://asyncapi.com/s/asyncapiv2 across generator UI defaults, generator flag config, documentation examples, a blog post, and added a corresponding redirect entry.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Generator component & flags components/GeneratorInstallation.tsx, config/generator-flags.json	Updated default specPath/template URLs from https://bit.ly/asyncapi to https://asyncapi.com/s/asyncapiv2 for multiple templates.
Documentation & blog examples markdown/docs/tools/generator/usage.md, markdown/blog/february-2021-at-asyncapi.md	Replaced bit.ly/asyncapi usages with https://asyncapi.com/s/asyncapiv2 in code examples and usage instructions.
Redirects / infra public/_redirects	Added # Short URLs section and a 301 redirect entry mapping /s/asyncapiv2 to the Streetlights YAML example URL.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

• Pay attention to:
  • Any remaining bit.ly/asyncapi occurrences across repo.
  • Correctness and formatting of the public/_redirects 301 redirect and header line.
  • Generator commands/examples reflect the new URL (copy/paste validation).

Poem

🐰 I hopped through links with nimble cheer,
Short paths swapped so examples steer.
From bit.ly to steady ground,
A rabbit’s nudge — the URLs found. 🥕

Timestamp: 2025-07-19T20:58:34.040Z
Learning: In the AsyncAPI website documentation, anchor references to specification sections can use camelCase format (e.g., #serverObject, #parameterObject, #messageObject) even if the actual HTML IDs on the spec page use hyphenated lowercase format. This is acceptable and should not be changed.

Timestamp: 2024-11-13T20:34:18.998Z
Learning: In the markdown files for the AsyncAPI website, avatar image paths should be referenced without the `public` prefix (e.g., use `/img/avatars/...` instead of `/public/img/avatars/...`).

File: scripts/markdown/check-editlinks.js:80-93
Timestamp: 2025-01-14T09:23:32.728Z
Learning: In the AsyncAPI website's edit link generation system, the `editOptions` array in `edit-page-config.json` includes a fallback entry with an empty string value (`''`) that matches any URL path, ensuring that `determineEditLink()` function always finds a target and never returns null.

File: tests/markdown/check-edit-links.test.js:20-46
Timestamp: 2025-01-14T14:58:38.076Z
Learning: In the AsyncAPI website codebase, the edit-page-config.json contains a fallback match entry that ensures determineEditLink function always has a valid target.value, making null checks unnecessary.

File: tests/fixtures/markdown/check-edit-links-data.js:3-11
Timestamp: 2025-01-19T04:51:41.255Z
Learning: In the AsyncAPI website repository, the test data in `tests/fixtures/markdown/check-edit-links-data.js` intentionally includes inconsistent paths (with and without 'docs' prefix) to verify the script's ability to normalize and handle ambiguous path structures.

73-74: LGTM! Comment formatting is correct.

The section comment now follows the proper convention with spacing after # and capitalization consistent with other section headers in the file.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Redirect target URL is accessible, but confirm the version strategy is intentional.

The target URL returns valid AsyncAPI 2.0.0 content. However, version 2.0.0 was released in 2019, and AsyncAPI has since released v2.5.0 and v3.0.0 with significant improvements. If the original bit.ly URL was pointing to v2.0.0 for backward compatibility, the redirect preserves that. Otherwise, consider whether using the latest v2.x or v3.0.0 streetlights example would better serve users.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

In public/_redirects around line 75, the redirect points to the AsyncAPI v2.0.0
streetlights example which is intentional only for backward compatibility;
confirm whether you want to preserve v2.0.0. If not intentional, update the
target to a newer example (e.g., the latest v2.x or v3.0.0 streetlights example
raw URL on the AsyncAPI repo) by replacing the v2.0.0 path in the redirect with
the correct raw GitHub path, or alternatively add a comment or separate redirect
that documents why v2.0.0 is being preserved for legacy users.

few tests have flaky behavior, re-running the workflow a few times will make these checks pass
