Complete Go Course

This is a code repository for a workout tracking API project built in the Complete Go course on Frontend Masters.

Setup

The API project is built from scratch. Before watching the course, you should install:

• Go (version 1.24.2 or higher)
• Postgres and any DB tool like psql or Sequel Ace to run SQL queries.
• Docker and Docker Compose

Setup Tips

• In the [Postgres Database Container lesson][database], the Docker container exposes Postgres on the default port of 5432. If you already have Postgres or something else running on that port and you get a connection error, you can use an alternate port but updating the docker-compose.yml to be something like "5433:5432".
• In the [SQL Migrations with Goose lesson][goose], if you get a "command not found" error when running goose -version, it's because the $HOME/go/bin directory is not added to your PATH. You can fix this temporarily by running export PATH=$HOME/go/bin:$PATH, but this will not persist if you close your terminal. A permanent fix would require adding export PATH=$HOME/go/bin:$PATH to your .zshrc or .bashrc.

Tests

After the workout_store_test.go migration is added, the test will fail due to a foreign key violation. This is becasue the tests create a workout without a user_id. Creating a test user for the tests will fix this issue. The main branch has the working tests. See this commit for the fix.
