## Project Overview

The URL Shortener With Go is a web application designed to shorten long URLs into concise links. The application is structured using a three-tier architecture, leveraging Go for the backend, MongoDB for data storage, and a static frontend for user interaction.

This project is an ideal demonstration for those looking to understand how to create scalable web applications with Go and MongoDB while employing containerization for deployment.

## Features

- **URL Shortening:** Convert long URLs into short, manageable links.
- **Analytics Dashboard:** Track click counts and URL usage statistics.
- **User Authentication:** Secure login and user management.
- **RESTful API:** Comprehensive API for integration with other services.
- **Dockerized Environment:** Seamless setup and deployment with Docker.
- **Scalable Design:** Three-tier architecture for robust and scalable solutions.

## Architecture

The project follows a three-tier architecture:

1. **Presentation Layer (Frontend):**
- A static landing page built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Provides an intuitive interface for users to shorten URLs and view analytics.

2. **Application Layer (Backend):**
- Built with Go, handling all business logic.
- Exposes RESTful API endpoints for URL operations.

3. **Data Layer (Database):**
- MongoDB used for storing URL mappings and user data.
- Ensures high availability and easy scalability.

git clone https://github.com/ARUP-G/URL-Shortener-With-GO.git
cd URL-Shortener-With-GO
```

### Build and Run

#### Without Docker:

1. **Start MongoDB:**

Ensure MongoDB is running on your machine. You can start it with:

```bash
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf --fork
```

2. **Install Dependencies:**

Navigate to the backend folder and install dependencies:

```bash
cd backend
go mod tidy
```

3. **Run the Application:**

go run main.go
```

4. **Open the Frontend:**

Open the `index.html` file in your browser to start using the application.

#### With Docker:

1. **Build and Start Containers:**

```bash
docker-compose up --build
```

2. **Access the Application:**

Visit `http://localhost:8181` in your browser.

## Usage

- **Shorten URL:** Enter a long URL on the landing page to receive a shortened link.
- **Track URL:** Log in to access analytics and view click statistics for your shortened URLs.
- **API Access:** Use the provided API to integrate URL shortening functionality into your applications.

### API Endpoints

| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|-----------------------|-----------------------------------|
| POST | `/api/v1/shorten` | Shortens a provided URL |
| GET | `/api/v1/{shortURL}` | Redirects to the original URL |
