golang API to perform the CRUD operations

• C : create
• R : read
• U : update
• D : delete

What these APIs do?

• The APIs perform CRUD operations on the string
• To keep it lightweight project, the APIs don't connect to database

How to use this project?

• install go binary and configure GOROOT env variable as per the location of GO binary
• create a directory structure dir_path/src. Where dir_path should be set as GOPATH env variable
• clone this code under src repo
• run go run main.go and the application will start on port 8000

List of APIs

• http://localhost:8000/resource/create - Create a new string and string the set value

How to use automated testing

• The go testing package supports automated testing.
• In order to run test testcases , please run go test -v ./...
• This will trigger test cases in all the packages ( root and sub packages ).
• To see the test coverage, please use flags like -cover and -coverprofile while running to test command.
• Commands are go test -v -cover ./... or go test -v -coverprofile=cover.txt ./...
• Once you have cover.txt file, you can use a built in tool called cover to create an html report from this txt file.
• Command is - go tool cover -html=cover.txt -o cover.html.
• Open cover.html in browser to review the test coverage.

Dockerfile

• Application is using go module.
• It's important to copy go.mod and go.sum along with main.go in image for go to download dependencies at run time.
• This file completely defines the structure of your application.

docker-compose.yml

• This is declarative way of writing docker image.
• We can create multi container applications using docker-compose.
• docker-compose up will start the container application.
• docker-compose down will stop all the container application.
• docker-compose build will build all the images from docker file.
• docker-compose logs will show logs for all the running services.
