turls

A tiny URL shortener built in Go with the standard library net/http and html/template, SQLite storage via sqlc + modernc.org/sqlite (pure Go, no cgo), and bcrypt password hashing.

Anyone can shorten a link (1h/6h/12h/24h, or forever if signed in). Signed-in users get a dashboard listing their own links with click counts and delete.

Run

go run ./cmd/turls runserver

Serves on http://localhost:8080. Data lives in url_shortener.db (SQLite, created automatically).

Create a user

There is no registration and accounts are created with a local script that prompts for user credentials.

go run ./cmd/turls createuser

Test

go test ./...

Regenerate sqlc code

After editing internal/db/schema.sql or internal/db/query.sql:

sqlc generate
