URL shortener service made using Deno
This solution uses Docker and Docker Compose to run the app and the database. Make sure you have both installed and running.
1. Generate the .env file
$ cp .env.example .env
2. Run the service with Compose
$ docker compose up -d
3. Create a new short URL
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"original_url": "https://github.com/brenobaptista"}' \
https://localhost:8080/urls
4. Get the original URL back
$ curl https://localhost:8080/{hash}
5.1. Stop and remove containers and networks created by "up" (keep volumes and images).
$ docker compose down
5.2. Stop and remove containers, networks, images and volumes created by "up".
$ docker compose down --rmi all -v
- An easy way to get a Postgres database running is using Railway to provide a free database without signing up.
- Or you can install Postgres locally and create a database.
1. Generate the .env file
$ cp .env.example .env
2. Update the .env file
# DATABASE_URL=postgresql:https://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{database-name}
3. Start the API (Deno automatically detects and installs dependencies)
$ deno task start
4. Create a new short URL
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"original_url": "https://github.com/brenobaptista"}' \
https://localhost:8080/urls
5. Get the original URL back
$ curl https://localhost:8080/{hash}
