go-rest-api

A simple Go based REST API server built using gorilla/mux HTTP router and PostgreSQL database.

Prerequisites

---

• Basic familiarity with Go and PostgreSQL, and
• That you have working Go and Docker installations. You can use Docker to run a test database easily.

Run locally

• Start PostgreSQL container using:

  $ ./run.sh startdb

• Once started, initialize database using:

  $ ./run.sh initdb products_db

• Once initialized, start server using:

  $ ./run.sh server -port=<port_number> # default: 8010

• Once started, you'll see a message like this:

  Go REST api-server listening on port: 8010
  Press Cmd+C / Ctrl+C to stop.

• Now launch your browser and go to http://localhost:8010/api/products
• Once done, stop PostgreSQL container using:

  $ ./run.sh stopdb

• To clean-up database, use:

  $ ./run.sh cleanup
