How to upgrade to Rails 7.1 This will also work with any other version and offers a few tips on how to test things out and revert back if necessary.

Congratulations! We're all done! We now have a fully featured URL shortener that does everything we need plus some cool extras.

Once our application has lots of links, it will become impossible to use. Let's add pagination to make our application usable once we have hundreds or thousands of links.

Now that we've got a thorough test suite, we want to make sure tests are run anytime we push code to GitHub. We can setup GitHub Actions to test our code and automatically deploy it when tests pass.

Testing our URL shortener is very important now that we've implemented edit permissions on Links. We want to make sure everything works as expected for each type of user.

Here's how we'd add Users and handle edit permissions for links. See how it compares to your implementation and consider the pros/cons of each approach.

Anyone can add, edit, and delete any Link in our URL Shortener database. Your challenge is to add users, associate links with them and only allow editing of your own links.

We're ready to deploy our URL Shortener to production and we're going to do that using Hatchbox.io

Copy to clipboard is a required feature for a URL shortener. We'll implement this with two JavaScript libraries (clipboardjs and tippy.js) and a Stimulus controller.
