Building an API for Ben & Jerry's fans

Tasks Implemented

  • Implemented a REST API with CRUD functionality with PosgressSQL as DB
  • Authenicated using JWT token
  • Documentation done using Swagger ( // Swagger json is not created properly at the time of writing )
  • Extensive Testing is done using Post Main, Go Test and manual testing

Architecural Decision

Table Definition is given below:

Product Table will hold the string fields Ingredients Table will hold ( Product ID, Ingredient ID) SourcingValue Table will hold ( Product ID, Sourcing Value ID) IngredientIndex Table will (Ingredient ID, Value) SourcingValue Table will (Sourcing Value ID, Value)

Design Choices Considered

Efficient Storage and Retrieval of values based on the Values ( Ingredients , Sourcing Values) by keeping in Separate Tables

PreProcess of Values in Ingredients :

"butter (cream","salt)" - Instead of saving 2 values , mapped to Single value in table "butter (cream salt)

"liquid sugar (sugar","water)" - mapped to "liquid sugar (sugar water )

Database Used: Posgress SQL ( Used PostgreSQL as a Service , Elephant SQL ) - DB instance is up and running - Testing is possible by running application locally

How Ingredients / Sourcing Values are updated since it is kept in two tables

Old Values : Array of Ingredients present in DB New Values : Array of Ingredients given to the endpoint

Compare Old Values and New Values :

Make a Decision on Which Values to be Deleted Make a Decision on Which Values to be Inserted Make a Decision on Which Values not touched

Example :

Old Values : "ingredients": [ "cream", "skim milk", "liquid sugar", "water", "sugar", "coconut oil" ]

New Values : "ingredients": [ "cream", "skim milk", "liquid sugar", "water", "black sugar", "coco powder" ]

Rows Untouched during Update : [ "cream" , "skim milk" , "liquid sugar", "water" ]

Rows to be Deleted: [ "sugar", "coconut oil" ]

Rows to be Inserted: ["black sugar", "coco powder" ]

If the indexes are available for black sugar and coco powder in the ingredients index table , update only ingredients table

If the indexs are not available for black sugar and coco powder in the ingredients index table , create entries for black sugar and coco powder in the ingredients table and then update the ingredients table
