TinyApp is a full stack web application built with Node and Express that allows users to shorten long URLs (à la bit.ly).
- Node.js
- Express
- EJS
- bcryptjs
- cookie-session
- Install all dependencies (using the
npm installcommand). - Run the development web server using the
npm startcommand. - If the server is running successfully, the message 'TinyApp listening on port 8080!' will appear in your terminal
- Visit http://localhost:8080/ in your browser
- You should be directed to the login page where you can proceed to login or select register to register as a new user
- From there you can create new tiny urls
- A user is in control of their tiny urls and are the only ones that can edit/delete them
- Since tiny urls are meant for to simulate sharing a of your shortened urls to others, anyone can travel to them through http://localhost:8080/u/:id
I hope you enjoy my very first project.
