Mergeforces Service

Mergeforces service is a hands-on example of a complete web application written in Go for the purposes of applying knowledge gained from self learning and creating an open source project that provides free user group listings.

Quickstart

To build run the web service on http://localhost:8080:

docker-compose up --build

Once the database has started, you will need to use psql or a client like postico to connect to the running postgres instance and create the mergeforces_app database:

psql postgres://postgres:postgres@0.0.0.0:5432
CREATE DATABASE mergeforces_app;

Running tests

To run all tests within the repository:

go test ./...

Running migrations

Migrations will be run automatically upon restarting the application; however to run migraitons manually:

goose postgres "user=postgres dbname=mergeforces_app sslmode=disable" status
goose postgres "postgres://postgres:postgres@0.0.0.0:5432/mergeforces_app?sslmode=disable" up
