Symfony-Shortly is a project built on the Symfony framework that allows users to shorten long URLs. Both logged-in and anonymous users can utilize this functionality. If a user is logged in, the shortened link will be saved in their history. The website also includes a Symfony command that enables the creation of an administrator account capable of deleting other users' links.
To run the Symfony-Shortly project, you need to have the following tools installed:
- PHP (recommended version: 7.4 or higher)
- Composer
- Symfony CLI
-
Clone the project repository:
git clone https://github.com/eastcause/symfony-shortly.git -
Configure the database connection in the
.envfile. -
Run the migrations to create the database schema:
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
After successfully running the project, you can utilize the URL shortening feature on the homepage. Logged-in users will have access to their history of shortened links.
To create an administrator account, use the Symfony command:
php bin/console app:create-user
Once an administrator account is created, you can log in and start managing user links.
