Current Scope

A basic API collection for Habit Tracker App implementing JWT Auth & CRUD operations having the following functionalities:

• Register, Login, & Get User Info.
• User can Add new Habit.
• Update an existing Habit.
• Delete an existing Habit.
• View Habit information.
• List all Habit.

Project Status

This project is currently under development. Users now can do the above functionalities, As per requirements of the assignment.

Installation and Setup Instructions

You need the following requirements installed globally on your machine.

Requirements

• GoLang >= v1.22
• PostgreSQL >= v16.2
• Proxy Web Server: Apache2 or preferably NGINX in case of creating a virtual host instead of specifying the port in URL rather than the default port 80.

Note: The requirements listed above are needed in case you'll ignore the docker setup. Otherwise, if you find it convenient for you to work with Docker example files are available in the root directory of the project for convenience.

Getting The Codebase:

The simplest way to obtain the code is using the github .zip feature. Click here to get the latest stable version as a .zip compressed file.

The recommended way is using GIT. You'll need to make sure git version ~2.34.1 is installed on your machine. Use a terminal or Power Shell to visit the directory where you'd like to have the source code placed, then type in:

$ git clone https://github.com/ahmadSaeedGoda/habit_tracking_app.git

Feel free to switch the URL to use SSH protocol instead!

Installation and Configuration:

• Step 1: Get the code. "As explained above".

• Step 2: Set the Environment Variables. Find the file named .env.habit_tracker.example in the root directory of the project. Duplicate the file in the same path/location, then rename the new one .env.habit_tracker then set the values of the environment variables listed within the file according to your environment respectively.

Replicate the same step for docker-compose.yml.example, Dockerfile.dev.example, Dockerfile.postgres.example. Just remove the suffix .examples after duplicating these files and you're good to go!

Same thing/procedures can be conducted for .air.toml.example to be used for configuring the Dev server during development. Consult the Air's documentation for more details/instructions in this regard.

• Step 3: Navigate to the root directory of the project you cloned or downloaded via CLI, then run the following command to get it up and running!

$ docker compose up

Easy peasy lemon squeasy, my friend! That's how we roll.
Voila! Just like that, but with more pizzazz.

Note: docker compose up in the console after making sure the prompt points to the root directory of the project. So that you can have an up & running dev server on the default port 8080 with Air for Auto-Restart/Hot-Reload whenever you make any modifications to the code and save the files.

Specify the file named Dockerfile.staging.uat.example after duplicating it & removal of .example suffix in your docker-compose.yml. This way, when running the file in the console after making sure the prompt points to the root directory of the project you can have a production similar running server.

Whatever convenient for you to run the app for visiting the endpoints in an API client such as postman, insomnia or even curl.

Note: A shared Postman collection is included/shared within the source code root directory, this can be imported and ready to use after changing the base_url variable as per your env. "In case you'd like to change the default"

For documentation & Usage see Postman Collection shared collection with Examples included in file: Insomnia_2024-02-22.json.

Import the above file in Insomnia or Postman!

Now you can Register & Login, View your info, Create new Habit, then once a new one is created via the available request/endpoint .. Update an existing one, Deleting an existing one, Get a specified Habit, or Get all Habits for the authenticated user can be achieved.
