Helpjuice Chunin Exam

Welcome to the Helpjuice code challenge. This repository includes a new Rails app used for assessment and testing purposes only.

Context

Helpjuice provides a reasonable overview and description of who are we and what we do.

Helpjuice empowers large and small companies (such as Amazon.com, Hertz, Virgin Mobile, Shipt.com, Philips, US Government, and thousands of others) to deliver instant support using our software.

We're a smaller, yet growing software company, where everyone wears multiple hats. It's a team of excellent people, who are all willing to help each other because it's the way we work / our culture.

We care about our customers and are a very transparent company in how we build software (e.g.: our product roadmap is public & customer-driven)

Tasks

1. Build a URL shoretner app

A URL shortener is an online application that converts a regular URL into its condensed format.

The user only has to copy the full URL of a website and paste it into the URL shortening tool to come up with an abbreviated version that is around 10 to 20 characters long.

Example:

Regular URL - http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/09/us/more-casinos-and-internet-gambling-threaten-shakopee-tribe.html?_r=1&hp

Shortened URL - http://your-domain/P7eg6B

Shortened URL then redirects to the original URL.

Plus points for challengers are able to track as much of analytics as possible!

2. Stimulus

Please try to put as much of your JavaScript into Stimulus controllers as possible!

3. Specs
