url-shortener's Introduction

A URL shortening service like bitly

If you want to play with this, it's deployable to Heroku (just add free Postgres to your Heroku app).

Requirements

  1. PostgreSQL
  2. Environment variable DATABASE_URL set with PostgreSQL URI
  3. Node.js

Running

  1. Setup PostgreSQL, database and user and set DATABASE_URL in environment (this is automatically done for you on Heroku when adding PostgresSQL add-on).
  2. Install node packages with yarn.
  3. Start server with npm start in production or npm run dev for development.

Notes

  • typically, one would use webpack to build for production but as this is a demo, the babel/webpack packages are left in as normal dependencies and we just use bable-node
  • quick demo -- not intended to be a ready to use system
