Fullstack rest API in TypeScript and Go(Next 14, Go, Postgres, Docker)

Overview

Welcome to our project! 🚀 This is a special blend of Go, PostgreSQL, and Next.js 14, working together to handle user-related actions. Buckle up for some CRUD magic!

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Quick Setup

1. Clone the project.
2. Go to the project folder.

Let the Show Begin

Open your terminal and start the party:

docker-compose up -d db  # Start the database
docker-compose up        # Launch Go backend, PostgreSQL, and Next.js frontend

VIP Access: Database Connection

Want to peek behind the scenes? Connect to the database:

docker exec -it db psql -U postgres

Prepping Next.js to be containarized

In next.config.js, change:

const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
}

to:

const nextConfig = {
  output: 'standalone',
};
