Url-Shortener

Aim is to develop a url shortener that every developer can use. It uses NodeJS as API, Redis as session storage, Mongo as database and Jade as templating engine.

Rediraction mechanism

There are two different methods where you can redirect users to specific urls.

view.save(function(err) {
	if (err) res.render('500');

	res.render('view', { 'url': view.url });
	/**
	* Alternative solution to HTML5 Refresh.
	*/
	// res.redirect(view.url);
});

Documentation

As part of Javascript, jsdoc is used.

TODO

• Admin panel
• Better UI for both index and error pages.
• Switch to token authentication instead of cookie based one.
