Go TODO Rest

This project is a RESTful API built with Go that allows users to manage a simple TODO list. It includes endpoints for adding new tasks, viewing all tasks, updating tasks, and deleting tasks, following RESTful principles and using appropriate HTTP methods and status codes.

The API uses the net/http package to handle HTTP requests and responses, and a data storage mechanism of your choice to store the TODO list items.

The code is readable, with robust error handling and clear documentation that describes the endpoints, their expected inputs and outputs, and any authentication or authorization requirements. Use this project as a foundation for building your own Go-based RESTful APIs.

Task

You are tasked with building a RESTful API that allows users to manage a simple TODO list. Users should be able to add new tasks, view all tasks, update tasks, and delete tasks.

Requirements

• Use the Go programming language to build the API.
• Use the net/http package to handle HTTP requests and responses.
• Use a data storage mechanism of your choice to store the TODO list items.
• The API should follow RESTful principles, including using appropriate HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and status codes.
• Write appropriate error handling to handle errors and return informative error messages.
• Include documentation that describes the endpoints, their expected inputs and outputs, and any authentication or authorization requirements.
• Use any additional libraries or frameworks that you deem necessary.

Endpoints

Your API should implement the following endpoints:

• GET /api/tasks

Returns a JSON array of all tasks in the TODO list.

Response Body:

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Buy groceries",
    "description": "buy five groceries",
    "done": false
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "title": "Do laundry",
    "description": "this is test description",
    "done": true
  }
]

• GET /api/tasks/:id

Returns the JSON representation of a single task specified by the id parameter.

Response Body:

{
  "id": 1,
  "title": "Buy groceries",
  "description": "buy five groceries",
  "done": false
}

• POST /api/tasks

Adds a new task to the TODO list.

Request Body:

{
  "title": "Clean the house",
  "description": "this is test description",
  "done": false
}

Response Body:

{
  "id": 3,
  "title": "Clean the house",
  "done": false
}

• PUT /api/tasks/:id

Updates an existing task specified by the id parameter.

Request Body:

{
  "title": "Buy groceries",
  "description": "buy five groceries",
  "done": true
}

• DELETE /api/tasks/:id

Deletes an existing task specified by the id parameter.

Response Body:

{
  "message": "Task deleted successfully."
}

Evaluation

Your solution will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Does it implement all of the required endpoints?
• Does it follow RESTful principles?
• Is the code well-organized, modular, and readable?
• Is the error handling robust and informative?
• Is the documentation clear and concise?
• Are there any additional features or improvements you made that demonstrate your understanding of Go and RESTful APIs?
