MovieDB - Go REST API serving submitted movies data

Framework-less REST API, allowing you to store and retrieve simple movie data in JSON format. Follows standard good practices regarding UX and HTTP.

Application created as a part of my learning journey using Go as web back-end, it is not production ready.

Features:

• Version control enabled database schema based on migrations
• Token-based user authentication and permission-based authorization
• Simple metrics exposed as an endpoint + comprehensive command line logger during runtime
• New user registration email with activation process
• Simple built-in rate limiting configurable from command line arguments
• Sending and retrieving movie data
• Filtering, sorting and pagination based on PostgreSQL methods, when pulling the data

Running:

After configuring PostgreSQL database on your server, create .env file in project's root directory with KEY=VALUE: MOVIE_DB_DSN={YOUR_POSTGRE_DSN}.

Then run database migrations using migrate tool and task build tool. Both dependencies have to be installed.

$ [task|go-task] db/migrations/up

Use script to easily run app

$ [task|go-task] audit
$ [task|go-task] run/api #or build/api

Lastly don't forget to change SMTP credidentals to your provider in main.go, as the application requires sending registration email.

Todo:

• Password reset feature

Stack:

• Go 1.19 + fasthttp
• PostgreSQL 14.5
• Migrate
• Task

Application was heavily inspired by Alex Edward's - Let's Go Further book.
