Install and use go-daraja

1. Ensure that go is installed. In a situation where go is not installed click install go

2. Create a new go project

       mkdir duka-letu
       cd duka-letu
       go mod init github.com/user-github-name/project-name

      cp example/.env .env

3. Install go-daraja package

      go get "github.com/silaselisha/go-daraja"

       import (
           "log"
           daraja "github.com/silaselisha/go-daraja/pkg/handler"
       )
   
       func main() {
           // create a client by passing the path to your .env file
           client, err := daraja.NewDarajaClient(".")
           if err != nil {
               log.Panic(err)
           }
   
           // invoke STK/NI Push
           res, err := client.NIPush("test STK push", "0708374149", 1)
           if err != nil {
               log.Panic(err)
           }
           log.Printf("%+v\n", res)
       }

Note: Majority of the services provided by daraja API require the client to be authenticated before invoking them. With go-daraja a simplified interface Daraja shall provide the user with all necessary services.
