# simple link shortener
## First run
To create database
```py
node init.js
```
## Running
```sh
node index.js
```
## Using
### Creating short link
```sh
curl -X "POST" localhost:3000 -d "dest=https://ref.snehit.dev/packaging/what-is-packaging.html"
```
This returns the shortcode and id.
```json
{
"id": 13030177,
"shortcode": "jwZd",
"dest": "https://ref.snehit.dev/packaging/what-is-packaging.html"
}
```
- `id` is required to later delete the short url
- `shortcode` is the actual route
- eg. in this case, `http://127.0.0.1:3000/jwZd` will take you to `https://ref.snehit.dev/packaging/what-is-packaging.html`
### Deleting short link
With the id you get for short links you create, run this.
```sh
curl -X "DELETE" 127.0.0.1:3000 -d "id=13030177"
```
```
{"msg":"success"}
```
