TinyApp Project

Tiny app is a link shortner, a user can input a long, hard to type link, and the user is given a simple 6 character link (for example: website.com/123456) that they can share. Tiny app is very focused on backend, the backend is built with node and express, including ejs and cookies.

What Tiny app looks like

• The login page

• The page where users can register

• Page where users can view their urls

• Page where users can add urls

• Page where users can view a specific url and edit it

Dependencies used in this project

• Node.js
• Express
• EJS
• cookie-session
• body-parser

Getting started

• run "npm install" to download all dependencies
• start the server using "node express_server.js"
• shorten long urls

Extra features

• urls now will indicate date created, how many times the short url has been accesed, and how many unique users(for logged in users only)

Things to note

• since the site is not currently hosted on a short domain, the short url will consist of http://localhost:3000 + short link
