Basic implementation of a url-shortener

How to setup the application

• First clone the repo git clone https://github.com/Davidcreador/url-shortener.git
• cd into server folder and install npm modules npm install or yarn
• cd into client folder and install npm modules npm install or yarn
• After these steps now in each folder you can run yarn start or npm start to run the application
• If you want to make changes in the server folder you can use this script yarn run dev to run nodemon to run restarts in the server automatically
• Provide an .env file to add environment variables HOST - PORT - DB_URI are the ones I am using for this app to run properly
• To seed the database you can go to the server http://localhost:8080/db/seederbot and it will run and populate the database with data of urls.
