Some usefull information

Simple basic url shortener

For using any other db inside UrlShortener settings.py in DATABASES feel free to configure a new db if want.

this projet not contains any front or visualy testing only backend

for testing can use postman, curl or any other tool added bat files, run curl commands

any click on shortlink amout of clicks increase(not 1 click for 1 user, user can access link many times and the counter will increase) i not sure if I should to handle 1 click per user in this assigment, for doing it i probably added track in db on users clicked it

Inside TESTS folder can find bat files, run curl commands in different situations
