A web api/cli program to shorten urls.
To build the web api run go run main.go in the cmd/webserver folder.
Then then hit the server with a json post request at 8000/url to generate a shorten url.
Json should be in the form:
{
"long_url": "http://<your_url_here>"
}The web api will then redirect when you direct a browser to the given url.
To build the cli version run go run main.go in the cmd/cli folder.
Then run the program created.
- Better error handling. Could DRY in lots of areas. See: Behaviour type assertion
- System to remove old urls. Would be sensible to remove urls over a certain age (maybe check if they have been used recently?)
