groupie-tracker

Objectives

Groupie Trackers consists on receiving a given API and manipulate the data contained in it, in order to create a site, displaying the information.

• It will be given an API, that consists in four parts:

  • The first one, artists, containing information about some bands and artists like their name(s), image, in which year they began their activity, the date of their first album and the members.

  • The second one, locations, consists in their last and/or upcoming concert locations.

  • The third one, dates, consists in their last and/or upcoming concert dates.

  • And the last one, relation, does the link between all the other parts, artists, dates and locations.

• Given all this you should build a user friendly website where you can display the bands info through several data visualizations (examples : blocks, cards, tables, list, pages, graphics, etc). It is up to you to decide how you will display it.

• This project also focuses on the creation of events/actions and on their visualization.

  • The event/action we want you to do is known as a client call to the server (client-server). We can say it is a feature of your choice that needs to trigger an action. This action must communicate with the server in order to recieve information, ([request-response])(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request%E2%80%93response)
  • An event consists in a system that responds to some kind of action triggered by the client, time, or any other factor.

Instructions

• The backend must be written in Go.
• The site and server cannot crash at any time.
• All pages must work correctly and you must take care of any errors.
• The code must respect the good practices.
• It is recommended to have test files for unit testing.

Allowed packages

• Only the standard Go packages are allowed.

Usage

• You can see an example of a RESTful API here

This project will help you learn about :

• Manipulation and storage of data.
• JSON files and format.
• HTML.
• Event creation and display.
• Client-server.
