To-Do API

This is a backend for managing a simple task management application. The backend consists of three different parts:

• Go application
• PostgreSQL
• NGINX

En översikt hur de hänger ihop kan ses här:

Go application

In order to run the application, you need one dependency: "github.com/lib/pq". This can be retrieved by running go get.

You may want to update the database information to match your system. Update the following constants in todo.go:

• databaseUser
• databaseHost
• databaseName

PostgreSQL database

PostgreSQL is used to store all the list and todo information. In order to setup the database schema, run psql -f schema.sql db_name.

NGINX

There is a configuration ready for using NGINX as a reverse proxy (in nginx.conf). However, the url to the application may need to be updated.

Run

To build to application, simply use go build in the project directory. You can also use go run todo.go to run the server directly.

Test

Test the system to make sure everything works. This is done by running go test in the application folder.
