Micro-Services Templates

This repository contains multiple micro-services templates that can be easily cloned and used for different purposes, such as URL shortening, timestamp validation, file metadata extraction, and exercise tracking. Each service is built with Node.js and can be quickly set up by following the steps below.

Micro-Services Included:

1. URL Shortener: Shorten URLs and manage redirects.
2. Timestamp Validator: Validate and parse timestamps in various formats.
3. File Metadata Finder: Extract metadata (size, type, etc.) from uploaded files.
4. Exercise Tracker: Track exercises with user data, including duration, type, and timestamps.
5. Header Parser: Gives us the details about the user who gives requests.

Setup Instructions

To use any of these micro-services, follow the steps below:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/micro-services-templates.git
cd micro-services-templates

2. Navigate to the Micro-Service Directory

Each service has its own directory. Navigate to the one you want to use:

• URL Shortener:

  cd urlshortener

• Timestamp Validator:

  cd timestamp

• File Metadata Finder:

  cd filemetadata

• Exercise Tracker:

  cd exercisetracker

  Header Parser:

  cd headerparser

3. Install Dependencies

Inside the service directory, install the required dependencies using npm:

npm i

4. Start the Server

After installing dependencies, start the server:

node index.js

The server will start running on the default port (usually http://localhost:3000).

Requirements

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• npm (v6 or higher)

Usage

Once the server is up, you can use your preferred API testing tool (like Postman or Curl) to interact with the micro-services. Each service will have its own API endpoints.
