go-gopher-api

A lightweight Golang API framework. Aims to be easily extendable and customisable.

Usage

1. Start the Docker containers: docker-compose up -d
2. Create a default Cassandra keyspace and table (this will be automated in the future):

CREATE KEYSPACE IF NOT EXISTS go_gopher_api
    WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
                        'replication_factor' : 1}

CREATE TABLE "go_gopher_api"."user" ("id" TIMEUUID, PRIMARY KEY (id));
ALTER TABLE "go_gopher_api"."user" ADD "name" TEXT;
ALTER TABLE "go_gopher_api"."user" ADD "email" TEXT;

3. Start the API web server: go run src/api/server/main.go
4. Run the example queries via the client: go run src/api/client/example/request.go

External libraries

This project is making use of the following third party libraries, check them out!

• Go Redis client
• Go Cassandra client (gocql)
• Go HTTP Router

Why does this exist?

I'm building this to improve my Go programming. If people find it useful, that's a big bonus!
