Greetings.
I am also solving the same challenge. So far, handling POST and working with mongoose is okay, but can you please explain where to get the shorturl database? Or am I asking for something incorrect? Am I suppose to make one?
Thank you.
Hello there,
I have moved your post to a new topic.
I am not sure I understand the question.
The aim of the project is to create an API which accepts a URL as a parameter, saves the URL with a shortened version, and responds with that shortened version. Then, if someone/something requests with the shortened version, you redirect them to the original URL.
Hope this clarifies
Thank you for helping me.
As you said “accepts a URL as a parameter, saves the URL with a shortened version”, how do I get shortened version of the URL?
For example, lets say the URL is www.google.com, then how I get the shortened version? For example, the shortened version could be like 6212, right?
You get to decide. When I did it, I used the index from the database (increment by one with each new record).
Thank you. Great help!
