Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/hakcolt/curty.git

Install the necessaries packages:

npm install

Run development server:

npm run dev

When we access the https://curty.hakcolt.com, we go through the following steps:

The user sends a request to the https://s.hakcolt.com/api/users/signin endpoint, submitting the E-Mail address and password of the user in the request body. The server then validates the user credentials and, if valid, generates a JWT access token and a JWT refresh token. The access token is used to access the protected resources, while the refresh token is used to obtain a new access token when the current access token expires. The access token is sent in the response body, while the refresh token is sent in the response cookies.

If the user does not have an account, he can create one in the registration section that sends a request to https://s.hakcolt.com/api/users/signiup, then he'll be redirected to login section again.

The user fetch the user data and links from backend passing the access token on header. If the access token is invalid or expires, a request will be made to https://s.hakcolt.com/api/users/refresh and the access token is automatically updated.

Now the user can see and manage the links he created, as well as create new links, as shown bellow.

To create a link you need the url and the path to access that link; the path must be unique, so you can't defined a path that already exists in the database,. You can also set a name for this link so that you can identity it most easily.

The user sends a POST request to https://s.hakcolt.com/api/links passing the link attributes in body and if everything goes as expected, the link will be save and shown on the home page.
