File-info API

An API that takes in a file and gives back info about the file.

The data is stored in a mysql database but the file is discarded.

Requirements

• Golang.
• Mysql.
• Postman or REST CLIENT from Vscode for testing.

To run it locally, edit the .env file, set up myql connection, create database called fileinfodb

To create table property, run the command:

$ mysql -u yourusername -p dbnamehere < database/fileinfodb.sql

e.g file - hello.py

request URI locally: http://localhost:8080/upload

Response:

{
    "id":7,
    "name":"hello",
    "extension":".py",
    "size":128,
    "type":"application/octet-stream"
}

Size is in bytes always.

Available paths:

function	path	method
welcome	/	GET
upload file	/upload	POST

Happy coding.
