Or you can visit in the brower http://localhost:3000/generator/top
Using a browser do a request to http://localhost:3000/generator/3Ai8G rember replace the right token. The app should redirect to the original_url
basically I used a 6-digit alphanumeric combination
source ||= ('a'..'z').to_a + ('A'..'Z').to_a + ('0'..'9').to_a
token = source.sample(TOKEN_LENGTH).join
validate token in case already exists, in that case generate a new one and repeat process
Remember to visit http://localhost:300/generator/top to see the table with most visited urls
