YAUS

(Yet Another) Yet Another URL Shortener

What is this?

This is a URL shortener, it doesn't have anything special.

Why did you make one, tho?

Why not?

Seriously, why did you make one?

Cause I needed a project to try Node.js, Vue.js and MongoDB since I've never used them.

Installation

Download the latest release and unzip it.

Usage

First of all, you have to set some environment variables:

  • PORT, the port you want to run the web service on (default: 3000)
  • NODE_ENV, set it to "dev" if in dev environment
  • MONGO_URL, the url to the MongoDB instance [required]

And then just run npm run start.

For example,

$ export MONGO_URL=172.16.1.10:27017/yaus
$ npm run start

> yaus@0.1.0 start /home/enrico/yaus
> node app.js

YAUS running at http://localhost:3000
