Intial Setup

docker-compose build
docker-compose up mariadb
# Once mariadb says it's ready for connections, you can use ctrl + c to stop it
docker-compose run short-app rails db:migrate
docker-compose -f docker-compose-test.yml build

To run migrations

docker-compose run short-app rails db:migrate
docker-compose -f docker-compose-test.yml run short-app-rspec rails db:test:prepare

To run the specs

docker-compose -f docker-compose-test.yml run short-app-rspec

Run the web server

docker-compose up

Adding a URL

curl -X POST -d "full_url=https://google.com" http://localhost:3000/short_urls.json

Getting the top 100

curl localhost:3000

Checking your short URL redirect

curl -I localhost:3000/abc

Algorithm

• The Algorithm that was implemented converts the id of the ShortUrl object into a Base62 short_code
