Link Shortener Service
To do: Build a small link shortener service with an API as well as a small web front-end with a PHP framework (eg. Laravel).
How it works:
-
The link shortener should be able to receive a URL and give back a shortened URL. When a user accesses the shortened URL he should be redirected to the full URL.
-
It should have an API endpoint where you can query statistic of a particular shortened URL and details about the users that have visited the URL with as much information as you can get on that user.
Expectation:
-
The application should be functional.
-
Commit often to the repository and make your commit messages descriptive so we can see your progress.
-
User authentication and tests are optional but welcome.
-
Please let us know how long (hours) it takes to complete the assignment.
