This is a test project for fist impressions with GoLang

urlShortener

Important to say, this is a learning project to understand GoLang principles and practice.

How to use it

Download the project and start the server

go run main.go

Perform a POST request

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/encode' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "url": "http://www.google.com.br"
}'

return must be something like

{
    "redirect_url": "http://localhost:8080/go/xcjHoW17"
}

now you can access your local browser http://localhost:8080/go/xcjHoW17
