DinoShort

an url shortener

Design

The proposed design is the following:

We will use Redis as a key-value store to store the shortened URLs.

🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
│   └── favicon.svg
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   │   └── Card.astro
│   ├── layouts/
│   │   └── Layout.astro
│   └── pages/
│       └── index.astro
└── package.json

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.

🧞 Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

Command	Action
npm install	Installs dependencies
npm run dev	Starts local dev server at localhost:4321
npm run build	Build your production site to ./dist/
npm run preview	Preview your build locally, before deploying
npm run astro ...	Run CLI commands like astro add, astro check
npm run astro -- --help	Get help using the Astro CLI

Format the code

npm run format

Check linting

npm run check-format

Testing

Using the terminal

Run the following command:

npm run test

Using the UI

Start running the command below:

npx cypress open

1. Then select the type of testing (in our case, it's E2E).
2. Select where the tests will run. We recommend using Chrome.
3. Open the specs tab and open the file index.cy.js; this will test the entire application.
