Data Impact Technical Test

Solution to the technical test

Install and build

git clone https://github.com/omecodes/ditt
cd ditt

go get -v -t -d ./...
cd bin

make

chmod u+x ditt-api-server

Run

Assuming you are in the bin folder, run the following command:

./ditt-api-server start --port=8080

Database target

By default, the program target a mongo database running at localhost. If you want it to connect to another mongo database you can specify it this way:

./ditt-api-server start --port=8080 --db-uri=<target-db-uri>

Comments

Testing

The API is pretty well covered. Tests for implementations of UserDataStore and Files are the big absents but this is due to lack of time.

Specification

Some part of the specification were not very clear to me. Maybe it'll be discussed during our next call

Difficulties

I spent time reading about routine/channels and Mongo. About Mongo, I tried up to 2 different go implementations.
