Getting Started
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.
### Prerequisites
In order to get a copy of the project you will require you to have Node.js (v14+) and the NPM package manager installed. If you don't have it, you can download the latest version of Node.js from the [official website](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) which also installs the NPM package manager by default.
### Installation
Open the terminal in the folder in which you wish to clone the repository and enter the following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/prasoonsoni/URL-Shortner.git
cd backend (For Backend)
cd frontend(For Frontend)
```
Install all the NPM packages:
```
npm i
```
In order to run the backend server:
```
npm i -D nodemon (One time installation)
npx nodemon index.js
```
In order to run the frontend:
```
npm run start
```
> **Note that you will have to add your own `.env` file at the root directory for both frontend and backend, and add your own environment variables for the project to build.**

- `HOST` - The domain name (usually http://localhost:3000)
Following are the environment variables used for frontend:
