React Golang Todo - Server

A sample web application built with Golang and the Gin framework, showcasing a RESTful API with basic CRUD operations.

Table of Contents

Introduction

The go-web-app is a simple web server application developed using Go and the Gin framework. It serves as a demonstration of setting up a RESTful API with basic CRUD functionality and other essential web server capabilities.

Features

  • RESTful API with Gin framework
  • Basic CRUD operations for managing resources
  • Configurable environment settings
  • Simple logging and error handling mechanisms
  • Built-in testing support

Installation

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

  • Go (version 1.18 or later)
  • Gin framework

Steps

  1. Clone the Repository

    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/go-web-app.git
cd go-web-app

  2. Install Dependencies

    Download and install the necessary Go modules:

    go mod tidy

  3. Build the Application

    Compile the application into a binary:

    go build -o server main.go

  4. Run the Application

    Start the server:

    ./server

    The server defaults to port 8080. You can adjust this in the configuration file if needed.

Usage

With the server running, you can interact with the API using tools such as curl or Postman. Here are example commands for common operations:

  • GET /api/endpoint

    curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/endpoint

  • POST /api/endpoint

    curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/endpoint -d '{"key":"value"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"

  • PUT /api/endpoint/{id}

    curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/endpoint/1 -d '{"key":"newvalue"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"

  • DELETE /api/endpoint/{id}

    curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/endpoint/1

API Endpoints

  • GET /api/endpoint - Retrieve a list of items.
  • POST /api/endpoint - Create a new item.
  • PUT /api/endpoint/{id} - Update an existing item by its ID.
  • DELETE /api/endpoint/{id} - Delete an item by its ID.

Configuration

Configuration can be managed via environment variables or a configuration file.

Environment Variables

  • PORT - Port on which the server listens (default: 8080).
  • DATABASE_URL - Connection URL for the database (if applicable).

Create a .env file in the root directory to define these variables:

PORT=8080
DATABASE_URL=your-database-url

Configuration File

Alternatively, you can use a configuration file to set application-specific settings. Refer to the configuration documentation for details.

Testing

To run tests for the application, use:

go test ./...

For verbose test output:

go test -v
