Tasks

Create a new Go application that does the following:

• Runs as a daemon on the command line- Structure the program so that it can be expanded for more routes and become a larger application, even though we're only going to put two routes in it for this test.
• Uses MongoDB as a database with an accounts collection
• Exposes port 80 and provides an HTTP REST interface
• Provides a /create_account route that takes an HTTP POST with JSON body that contains an email address and password and creates a document in the accounts collection of the DB with the email and password
• Ensure the password is stored securely in the database
• Provides an /authenticate route that takes an HTTP POST with a JSON body that contains an email address and password and authenticates it vs a stored account. Returns an HTTP 200 if successful or an HTTP 401 if not successful.
• Should handle errors and return 400's
• Should log nicely to the console
• Should have tests

Usage

  -p int
        Server port (default 80)
  -password string
        Mongo Database password (default "root")
  -user string
        Mongo Database user (default "root")

Notes

80 port is priveleged port and can be opened by root. So by default use another port

Tests

Run a server

go test

If server uses another port, use -p argument to define the port

$ go test -v -args -p 4488
