Kopit 19

COVID 19 API built using C++++ because it's C++ + Crow + COVID

About

I know there are many COVID APIs out there, but let me create my own (using C++, of course)

Getting Started

Below are some of the instructions on how to use this API or head to this Docs

Prerequisites

Make sure you fullfil these requirements

• 🐁 C++ (11/14) yes I use this language dude 😭
• 🐦 Crow it helps me to survive the C++ world
• 🐳 Docker (optional) thanks you are here, dude 🐳 ("of course")

Installation

Follow these steps to install this API

Manual (Recommended)

1. Clone and go into the directory

   git clone https://github.com/mhnaufal/kopid-api.git
   
   cd kopid-api

2. Configure CMake

   cmake --no-warn-unused-cli -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:BOOL=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/g++ -S/kopid-api -B/kopid-api/build -G "Unix Makefiles"

3. Build & Run

   cmake --build build/ --config Debug --target main_app -j && ./build/main_app

4. Open up localhost:18080

Docker

1. Docker run

   docker container run --name kopit-api -d -p 18080:18080 lohehe/kopit-api:latest
   

   or you can use the other image

   docker container run --name kopid-api -d -p 18080:18080 lohehe/kopid-api:latest
   

2. Open up localhost:18080

Endpoints

• / GET get all COVID 19 cases ✅

• /yearly/<int:year> GET get all COVID 19 cases in the given year ❌

• /monthly/<int:year>/<int:month> GET get all COVID 19 cases in the given month of the year ❌

• /daily/<int:year>/<int:month>/<int:date> GET get all COVID 19 cases in the give date ✅

Unit Tests

Currently unit test need to be run manually and its still using Postman

What I learned from this Project

1. Be grateful that now we have Go and Rust
2. g++ main.cpp command its good, Makefile is great, but CMake is awesome
3. I love when I compile, because I can have 5 minutes to do other useful things
4. Segmentaution fault is our friend, but how we dealt with it is our enemy
5. I need to reduce the number of layers in Dockerfile (but I've run out of internet data/quota)
6. The most important thing is I learn how to build and run C++ application manually without help any IDE (but I use CMake automation from VSCode 😭)
