🩳 shorty

A little weekend project/challenge to create my own URL shortener. I was inspired by Coding Garden with CJ who built one during his live stream. You can check it out here!

I was mainly interested in learning to use the following libraries/frameworks I haven't used before:

• Vue
• Fastify
• Monk

Development

1. Create a free tier MongoDB cluster with MongoDB Atlas.
   • Save the MONGODB_URI connection string
   • Make sure to whitelist IP addresses you expect to connect to the database cluster
2. Create a .env file in the root directory of your project
   • Add a PORT variable where the Node server will accept requests
   • Add a MONGODB_URI variable with the previously saved connection string
3. Run npm run dev to spin up Fastify server
4. Visit http://localhost:3000
