This is a simplified backend that listens to POST request. Once it receives such a request it will push it to a PostgreSQL database.
Clone the repository to your local environement.
To run the program you can choose between two methods:
- Docker (including
docker-compose)
Simply type docker-compose up in the root folder.
Once the console logs the line:
api_1 | {"level":"info","time":"2020-10-10T08:16:51.431Z","msg":"Listening...","address":":8080"}
The API is available and ready to accept requests on port 8080.
To run the go program in your local environment you need to have a database running and ready to accept connections.
After the PostgreSQL (11) database is running, configure the following environment variables to hold your database credentials:
"DB_USER" - the username.
"DB_PASSWORD" - the password.
"DB_NAME" - the database name.
"DB_HOST" - the database hostname.
"DB_PORT" - the port to connect to.
"DB_SSL" - SSL mode (example: require / disable).
You can achieve the above using the provided docker-compose file in the repository by simply run the command docker-compose up -d db in the root folder. Shortly there will be a running Postgresql service with the credentials provided in the docker-compose.yml file.
Run the application using go run main.go.
You can connect to and inspect the database and its contents using a cli tool such as pgcli or a gui tool such as TablePlus.
i.e. using pgcli:
pgcli postgres://talon:talon.one.8080@localhost/talon
