Setup

😀

Demonstrating MPESA STK Push server side setup in Golang. Gin HTTP Framework. I went a bit overboard with the logging, I know.

Installation

Requirements.

Install the needed dependencies.

go mod tidy

Start your local rabbitmq server or run rabbitmq via docker

docker run -d --hostname my-rabbit --name some-rabbit -p 15672:15672 -p 5672:5672 rabbitmq:3-management

Start the main API and the queue consumer

cd cmd
go run main.go server
go run main.go worker

Once this is done. You can access the API as below.

For an STK Request

http://localhost:8080/stk/request

POST
{
    "msisdn":"254700000000",
    "amount":"100"
}

If everything is ok you can check your phone for the M-PESA payment pop-up.

Mpesa callbacks will be received on

http://localhost:8080/stk/callback

For env setup, you can find an example env file in the pkg folder, create your copies and fill as necessary

cp .env.example .env

There is an additional helper for the env file, on utils/getpath where you can specify your working directory name
