This is a simple URL shortener that saves the URLs in the user's browser. It simply consists in a backend service that handles the creation which also gets some data from the page, handles the database storage (mongo db). And handles the redirection.
It also has a frontend part mad with react which consists of a simple landing page and a user panel.
1º Create a .env file in the backend folder and add the following values.
DATABASE_PASSWORD= MONGO DB PASSWORD
DATABASE_USERNAME= MONGO DB USERNAME
DATABASE_NAME= MONGO DB DABATABASE NAME
NOTE: The project is prepared for mongo db atlas. If you prefer to use other type of mongo db hosting you will need to change the URL into app.ts
2º Start the project
cd urlShort-backend
npm install
npm run dev
cd urlShort-frontend
npm install
npm run dev
NOTE: Both services need to be running at the same time, use two terminals
3º Navigate to http://localhost:3000 and enjoy
