npm dev

Try REST API

You can use Postman or Thunder Client.

Shortening URL is easy, Just send POST request with body,

{
  "url": "https://github.com/AjayTheWizard"
}

Response would be like,

{
  "fullPath": "https://github.com/AjayTheWizard",
  "shortUrl": "hAziXK6e",
  "view": 0,
  "_id": "61f40277073982354a35403f",
  "__v": 0
}

Just Grab shortUrl and Send GET request or navigate with Browser with url

// Example: http:localhost:5000/<shortUrl>
http:localhost:5000/hAziXK6e

Tada!, You'll redirected to url in Response of Previous POST Request. In our case, I'm redirected to https://github.com/AjayTheWizard

You can create custom Front-end to make more functionality.
