short links

[itsez]

Good first task creating a new model, controller and router from scratch

need to shorten the links we send out to people by replacing the current link with a shortened version that resolves to their link when processed by our website

1. a short link model (should have expiration, a code signifying the shortened url and the full url)
2. controller that handles getting the full link for the requests and creating a short link given a full link
3. route that the frontend can use to get the link for redirection
4. a public frontend page that displays a loading indicator letting them know we are processing their link and calls the api to process the short link, then redirects them to the full link

for examples look at the adjustment model, controller and router
