1. Submitted by: Lam Tran
2. Time spent: 8

Set of User Stories

Required

• Manipulate YAML config file. Where the redirection list peristently stored.
• Implement append to the list: urlshorten configure -a dogs -u www.dogs.com
• Implement remove from the list: urlshorten -d dogs
• List redirections: urlshorten -l
• Run HTTP server on a given port: urlshorten run -p 8080
• Prints usage info: urlshorten -h

Bonus

• Track number of times each redirection is used. When the user uses urlshorten -l, the user should see redirections ranked by how many times they have been used.
• Provide a default shortening, if no example is given. For example, if dogs is not given, generate a random alphanumeric string of length 8.
• Build a Handler that doesn't read from a map but instead reads from a database. Whether you use BoltDB, SQL, or something else is entirely up to you.

Thanks!

Hi @lamtan92

I like the way you've organized the yaml file and the struct around.

Although,

• The HTTP redirection is not complete yet.
• Over complicated workarounds, eg.:
  • getConfigPath() - you can use relative path instead.
  • checkExistFileConfig() - you can simple check when you try to read the config file.
• When you add to hosts you check for existence, but with remove not.

Please try to keep your code as simple as possible, but not simpler :)
Thanks,
