[Feature] Implement URL Save Functionality (Server side)

[abhijeetnishal]

Followed by issue #16

Description:

The current URL Shortener project lacks a feature that allows authenticated users to save their shortened URLs. This will enable users to login and access their saved shortened URLs, along with their original URLs.

Requirements:

• Shortened URL Save Functionality: Create an API endpoint (v1/api/urls) that allows authenticated users to save their shortened URLs with the original URL associated with the user_id on the server-side.
• Database Integration: Integrate the shortened URL save functionality with our MongoDB database. Design a suitable schema to store the shortened URLs, original URLs, and user IDs.
• Get all shortened URL with original URL: Create a endpoint(v1/api/urls) that displays all shortened URLs saved by the user, along with their original URLs.
• Security: Ensure that the implementation follows best practices for security, including input validation, sanitization, and error handling.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Authenticated users can save their shortened URLs on the server-side.
• The saved shortened URLs are associated with the user's ID in the database.
• The user home page displays all shortened URLs saved by the user, along with their original URLs.
• The implementation is secure, and input validation, sanitization, and error handling are in place.

Estimated Time:

This issue is estimated to take around 2-3 days to complete, depending on the contributor's experience.

@abhijeetnishal I am working on this issue but I can't complete it without the Authentication part which is handled by someone else so I am unable to create PR.

I will still code it as much as possible till the other issue is solved.

And also I think this is a level 2 issue , your thoughts?

@abhijeetnishal I am unable to understand this requirement

Shortened URL Save Functionality: Create an API endpoint (v1/api/urls) that allows authenticated users to save their shortened URLs with the original URL associated with the user_id on the server-side.

we will save the URL as soon as it is created with the user_id then why the extra endpoint to save the URLs?

[abhijeetnishal]

Hey @atharvarekhawar, you just need to create an API which performs CRUD operation without update and it shows original URL with shortened url to respective users with JWT authentication which acts as a middleware.

Don't worry about the auth middleware for now. So i think it's level1 issue because CRUD and authentication are different issues.

If you have any doubts, let me know.
