Free URL Shortener using Firebase, Google Cloud Firestore, and Cloud Functions

Features of pug.gl

• Generate short URL's on pug.gl
• Build Routes and API
  • /:encoded_id - GET: Redirects to the Long URL
  • /:encoded_id/test - GET: Redirects to Long URL without saving click information in Firestore
  • /:encoded_id/stats - GET: Returns JSON of the stats for that particular Short URL
  • /api/shorten - POST: Returns Short URL
  • /api/stats - GET: Returns JSON of the stats for ALL short URL's

The stats that we will save for each click are:

{
	url_id: string,
	clicked_on: Date,
	long_url: string, //long URL that was shortened
	ip: string, // IP address of the click
	city: string, // City of the IP
	country: string,
	lat: number,
	lon: number,
	
	region: string,
	zip: number
}
