Just messing around with Express.js
-
You can shorten your URLs
-
Login to your account/Register
-
Authenticated users can view the number of clicks their links have, info about users that clicked the links like OS, device, date and time they clicked
-
Authenticated users can revoke(delete) and change destination of their links
- run
npm install
, - create your
.env
file and add your MONGO_URI, BASE_LINK and JWT_SECRET variables, - when running locally, you could set your BASE_LINK variable to "http://127.0.0.1:5000" since I set the app to run on port 5000 locally.
- run
npm run dev
