This is a web application which allows users to enter different urls, and the site returns a short version of those urls.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
Node.js and MongoDB You can download and find the instructions to install them through these links:
To install the other necessary packages:
- Navigate to the repository on your terminal
- Install all other dependencies:
npm install- Navigate to the project directory in the terminal,
- Then run the flask server:
nodemon server.js- Open any browser and go to localhost:5000/
The future of the application involves hosting the project and using mongo cloud service. I plan to add an expiry system so that the short urls will expire after their use.
