Shopping-Cart-REST-API

Shopping Cart Rest API with Golang

Introduction

This is E-commerce API app implementations and written in Golang using gin web framework. This is not a finished project by any means, but it is a starting point for learning and understanding the concepts. I tried to implement clean architecture and code in a way that it is easy to understand and maintain.

Features

• Authentication / Authorization
• JWT middleware for authentication
• SHA512 hashing and base64 encoding for password
• GORM ORM for database
• CRUD operations on products, carts, orders, categories, users
• Orders, users may place an order
• Graceful shutdown

Project structure:

• CMD: Main application file
• Config: Configuration files
• Repositories: CRUD operations handling
• Models: Mvc, it is our domain data.
• Controllers: This is the Model-View-Controller, they receive the request from the user, they ask the services to perform an action for them on the database.
• Services: contains some business logic for each model, and for authorization
• Middlewares: it contains middlewares(golang functions) that are triggered before the controller action, for example, a middleware which reads the request looking for the Jwt token and trying to authenticate the user before forwarding the request to the corresponding controller action
• PKG: it contains the packages that are used by the application

TODO:

• Fix known bugs
• Heroku deployment
• GithubActions (CI/CD) for deployment
• Swagger Integration
• Unit Tests
• Integration Tests
• Create Bulk Category with CSV
• Pagination
• Add query params to get all products' endpoint for filtering
