How To Deploy

👉 Step by Step Deployment (wiki pages) 👈 documentation is available here. If you would like to used the TinyBlazorAdmin as frontend (suggested) you must first follow the steps to follow for TinyBlazorAdmin.

If you want to Update or Upgrade, please refer to this page (wiki pages).

How To Use It

AzUrlShortener is an API that doesn't have any admin UI by default. There are many different ways to manage your Short Urls, from a direct HTTP call to a fancy website.

We suggest Tiny Blazor Admin; it's a static website.

By default, without any specific Admin tool, you can use an API client like Postman or a plugin to VSCode like REST Client. We've included simple API calls via a postman collection and environment here.

You can also directly update the tables in storage using Azure Storage Explorer.
