Link-Shortener-website

This project is a learning solution from DevProjects.

Project Requirements

The user will input a valid URL and click a "shorten" button. The shortened URL will then be displayed.

Your UI should include the following elements:

• Text input for the user's URL
• "Shorten" button to trigger the link shortening
• Display area to return the shortened URL to the user

Bonus Requirements

• Make it easier for the user to copy the shortened URL by adding a "copy" button for one-click copying.
• Try to allow the user to automatically copy the shortened URL by using libraries like SimpleCopy or ClipboardJS.
