This repository has been created as a code challenge for candidates with FullStack Labs. The candidate will clone and setup an existing Django application. The application will contain routes, migrations, models, and minimal views but with no actual functionality created. The candidate will show all her/his expertise building apps with the Django framework and problem solving skills.
HeyURL! is a service to create awesome friendly URLs to make it easier for people to remember. Our team developed some mockup views but don't have our awesome functionality in place yet.
Implement actions to create shorter URLs based on a given full URL If URL is not valid, the application returns an error message to the user We want to be able to provide click metrics to our users for each URL in the system. Every time that someone clicks a short URL, it should record that click and also user platform and browser using the user agent request header We want to create a metrics panel for the user to view the stats for every short URL. The user should be able to see total clicks per day on the current month along with a breakdown of browsers and platforms If someone tries to visit a invalid short URL then it should return a custom 404 page Unit Tests should be created which cover the code that is added as applicable
Max length 5 character e.g. NELNT Allows upper and lower case characters Allows numbers Any non letter or number characters are not allowed, including whitespace original_url and short_url must be unique Original URL format should be validated
