Implemented using Express and Tingodb & Tungus (remember to use Mongoose 3.x version)
-
I can pass a URL as a parameter and I will receive a shortened URL in the JSON response.
-
If I pass an invalid URL that doesn't follow the valid http://www.example.com format, the JSON response will contain an error instead.
-
When I visit that shortened URL, it will redirect me to my original link.
