A coding challenge suggested by John Cricket in his codingchallenges.fyi project.
This is a url shortener developed using Express.js to build the RESTful API server and SAPUI5 to build the frontend.
To run it locally, you need Node.js, UI5 tools for VSCode and these dependencies set up in your package.json file
"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.18.2",
"sqlite3": "^5.1.7",
"ui5-middleware-simpleproxy": "^3.2.10",
"uuid": "^9.0.1"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@sap/ux-ui5-tooling": "1",
"@ui5/cli": "^3.0.0"
},
To run the Server, use the following command:
cd .\urlshortener\urlshortener\webapp\server | node app.js
To execute the app locally you can either serve it as a local UI5 app or in the Fiori Launchpad instance provided with ui5-tools, just run npm start to check the app in the current FLP theme.
API server listens by default on port 3001, and the web application in port 8080. Remember if deployed in a server to remove the proxy config in ui5.yaml!
