Url-Shortener-FullStack-Project

A full-stack URL Shortener platform using Spring Boot, Spring Security, and React.js. Supports JWT authentication, role-based access control, secure URL redirection, and a responsive user interface.

📘 Project Explanation

This project follows a modular full-stack architecture where the frontend and backend are maintained as independent repositories and linked together using Git Submodules.

• The frontend (React.js) and backend (Spring Boot) are developed, versioned, and deployed independently.
• This parent repository acts as an umbrella repository that represents the complete system.
• Git Submodules allow this repository to reference specific commits of both frontend and backend without duplicating code.

Why this approach?

• Clean separation of concerns
• Independent development and deployment
• Better scalability and maintainability
• Industry-standard practice used in real-world projects

This structure makes the project more professional, scalable, and suitable for enterprise-level applications.
