A minimalist REST API with CRUD capabilities for Blog Posts domain to learn Go

Motivation

This is a "Drive Test" on Golang to learn a bit about the language and have fun programming.

The solution is pretty simple, a REST API with a CRUD logic on Post. There's 2 rules for the Post entity:

1. Every post title must have at least 5 characters
2. Every post body must have at least 10 characters

The previous version of this project: v0.1.0.

Was one of the first Golang projects I've ever made, I decided to update the project to follow better practices and to keep the repository clean

Run Locally

go run cmd/main.go

This project is created by cloning the template from gosk.
