This repo contains a very simple URL shortener implementation. It is meant to be used as a demo for authoring Azure Functions with bindings using JavaScript. Storage is implemented with Cosmos DB.

In order to locally edit and execute code you need to install:

1. Visual Studio Code
2. Node.js
3. The Azure Functions extension for Visual Studio Code
4. Either the Cosmos DB emulator (Windows Only) or a Cosmos DB account on Azure.

To edit the code, simply open the folder in VSCode. First, add a local.settings.json file, and add an entry named RegistrationsDB which points to your Cosmos DB account (either online or emulator). Then, execute the functions app locally by running npm start.

Send a URL registration command by running the terminal command:

curl -v -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "url": "http://mydomain.com", "vanity": "shortname" }' \
  http://localhost:7071/register

In order to get a redirect, run the following command in the terminal:

curl -v -X GET http://localhost:7071/shortname
