A reworked URL Shortening API backend (based on this project). This is 1/2 of a URL shortening full stack app, the other half being a react front-end with auth. I wanted to rebuild this project becuase the first version I made in an afternoon and has some very glaring flaws. I wanted to put more of an emphasis on security and get more experience designing perfomant, scalable, and efficient code.
| Path | HTTP METHOD | INFO |
|---|---|---|
| / | GET | main route returns json welcome message |
| / | POST | adds a URL to the DB either using a specified or random slug |
| /:slug | GET | redirects to the URL associated with slug |
| /:slug | POST | updates the URL associated with slug with newSlug value |
| /:slug/info | GET | returns full DB object with info about url, including count, date created, etc. |
| /:slug/delete | POST | deletes db db object and returns status 200 to confirm |
