PrixFixe

Simple in-memory prefix search server. Uses a Trie as the underlying implementation. It is designed to be used for autocomplete, since ActiveRecord is too slow to do this quickly and efficiently.

Right now, it allows you to set/get keys, and prefix search.

Running The Server

You can use optional parameters -port and -file go run src/main.go -file={test.json} -port={8080}

The server also takes an optional "auth_key" flag, which will require all write requests to have an auth header with this value

Making Requests

Here's an example of a put (without authentication) curl "http://localhost:8080/put?key=dana+jonez&value=\{\"email\":\"DanaBWinston@armyspy.com\",\"first_name\":\"Dana\",\"id\":\"61753\",\"last_name\":\"Jonez\"\}"

Here's an example of a put with auth curl -H "XPrixfixeAuth: asdf" "http://localhost:8080/put?key=dana+jonez&value=\{\"email\":\"DanaBWinston@armyspy.com\",\"first_name\":\"Dana\",\"id\":\"61753\",\"last_name\":\"Jonez\"\}"
