Acknowledgement

As a novice in Go programming and Gin framework (and web development in general) I frequently referred to the go-banking-api project by Devansh. Thanks for being awesome!

Database

We're going to need a postgres database to start. I've already included an SQL script to create the tables and add sample data into them.

• cd into project directory
• run the below script for user postgres who owns a database quizgame

Feel free to change these values to your liking

psql -U postgres -d quizgame -a -f backend/scripts/database.sql

Quiz game uses the following environment variables to connect to a database.
