This is a web application written in go using http templates from the standard library (https://golang.org/pkg/html/template/)

Application

A notes/snippet app with basic CRUD operations. I have used mysql as the database for now, but any db can be used as the db methods are abstracted in the pkg directory.

The main routes are :

• GET / Returns the 10 latest snippets
• GET /snippets/{id} Returns a snippet with id x
• GET /static/ Is a fileserver that hosts files from the /ui/static directory.

Since I am using html templates, the endpoints return the final html instead of json data.

Dependencies

• Go MySQL driver
• Alice for clean middleware chaining

Preview

• Clone the repo and from the root directory run

go run ./cmd/web

Server will start by default on port 4000, but the flag -addr can be specified to run on a specific port. Currently, it is expected that MySQL is running on the same host as that of the application, and the env variables MYSQLUSER and MYSQLPASS must be present to establish the connection.

WIP

This app is a work in progress and a lot of things are missing, mainly -

• DB Migrations whenever the app starts (currently I ran the queries manually)
• Proper POST and DELETE endpoints
• Setup integration tests with a docker image (currently uses local db with a local user)
• Remove the library for middleware chaining
• Add users and login
• Host this somewhere?
